>>> Source? <<< National Law Review (look it up or see associated link below). >>> Human drivers tailgate. If you have a safe cushion in front of you, an erratic stop won’t cause a rear-end collision. <<< That's the theory --- and the misinterpretation. It's true that almost all human driver's tailgate at some point --- but they do so while being involved in half the accidents that self driving cars are --- 4.1 accidents per million miles versus 9.1 for driverless. https://carsurance.net/insights/self-driving-car-statistics/ https://carsurance.net/insights/self-driving-car-statistics/

> National Law Review (look it up or see associated link below) Your Carsurance source cites the National Law Review, which cites the Carsurance source for that statistic [1]. It’s important to consider from when they polled data and how they’re segregating by manufacturer. EDIT: Found the study [2]. It’s for 2012 to 2015. Given these are decade-old data, I’m actually surprised the gap is only 2x while fatality and injury rates were already lower.
