There's the average driver paying attention.
And then there is the average driver being distracted -- by cell phone, by alcohol, by passengers in the car, from road rage.
Frankly, the average IQ is 100; self driving should be able to surpass that in reaction time, physics (following distance), and legality; so I think it's likely 75% better than than the average driver. But 100% better than the 50% that are distracted.
- rootusrootus 4y agoYou're throwing out a lot of numbers, can you back them up? There's an old joke that something like 75% of drivers think 75% of everyone else is a bad driver. This is just a demonstration of perception. It only takes one bad driver per lane to really screw up traffic. The correct answer is that the vast majority of drivers are quite competent, but you don't notice them.
