>>with safety statistics better than humans
The problem is that will not be the expectation. It will need to be perfect or near perfect.
full self driving cars can drive a million of miles with no accident, but if on 1,000,001 miles there is a accident with a death it is all over the news, and people proclaiming the technology is terrible, unsafe and not ready. In that same 1,000,001 miles humans have caused far more damange and death but that is just "normal" so....
- helen___keller 4y agofrom a distance that's how people feel now. because self-driving isn't something anyone has access to, it's something that a few tesla buyers and a few tech companies (waymo, etc) have access to. So, from an average person's perspective, of course I don't want those rich/greedy assholes killing kids. The algorithms need to be perfect before they're allowed on the road If every single car were upgraded to have full self driving tomorrow, with algorithms to perform lets just say 1% better than humans perform, I guarantee that acceptance would build overnight.

- Veserv 4y agoWell obviously. If a self driving car caused a fatal accident after just 1,000,001 miles it would be like 80x more dangerous than the average American human driver. The reason we see summary dismissals of current autonomous vehicle technology is because even the best systems by Waymo and Cruise are literally orders of magnitude away from human-level. No discussion or societal cost-benefit is necessary when they are years away from reaching the bare minimum level worthy of analysis.
