The goal of AVs is to undermine high-density public transportation in favor of privately owned low-density transportation. The approach is to beta-test murder-capable robots amid unwilling living humans. That will neither reduce traffic nor make pedestrians safer. Counterpoint: pedestrians may be made safer by blockading the roads with unwitting AVs.
