Why would fewer deaths be impossible to quantify? Insurers already lower your premiums if your car has modern safety features, like automatic emergency braking.

I'd posit that if we replaced human drivers with Tesla's FSD (never mind Waymo tech) today, we'd save lives on the net. We just accept that getting T-boned by a texting driver is "an accident" and those "just happen", whereas getting hit by a self-driving car is "omgwtfbbq those self-driving cars can't be trusted", so standards for self driving cars are unnecessarily higher. (Just imagine the median driver; by definition 50% of drivers are worse.)
- dmbche 3y agoI disagree and fully believe that no manufacturer would want their cars to be free to run on all roads today, fsd included I'd love to bring it somewhere where it'll fail and sue them for damages, I'm sure I'm not alone Edit: exhibit A, tesla won their case this year because fsd was enabled on city streets, where it is not capable and they tell you so themselves.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoHow is that possible if FSD has so many safety controls? Are their controls so easily bypassed that they're effectively non-existent?
