Status quo fatalities == Bad humans
A significant proportion of the current fatal accident rate is based on incidents which involve driving so bad that humans implicated are severely punished for it, or at least banned from driving for a period.
Why would anyone set the benchmark for a commercial driving company lower?
- LorenPechtel 3y agoYeah. The comparison should be to drivers who were properly licensed and not DUI, not to all incidents.
- spaced-out 3y agoI disagree. Some people will drunk drive no matter the legal consequences, or in my case, I once rear-ended someone because I was drowsy but kept driving because I wanted to get home (fortunately no one was hurt, and yes, the accident was completely my fault). The comparison should be against the general population of human drivers because that's the reality on the road.
- notahacker 3y agoYou really think the safety bar for running a commercial autonomous taxi service should be set lower than the average human legally entitled to drive!?!
- throwaway2037 3y agoWhy do you assume "properly licensed" drivers will be better? My driving test in the United States was a joke. Many are the same. Nothing about it prepared me to be a good driver (which I am not). To me, the phrase "properly licensed" means nothing more than I hold a small card in my wallet that say I am allowed to drive this car. It says nothing about my skill level.
