Only counting the fatal accidents sounds like a mistake to me. I suspect that in many more instance, lim loss, paraplegy or even just serious material an psychological damage could be avoided by highly reliable automated driving.
- pbw 14y agoAbsolutely all manor of injury could be lessened or avoided by self-driving cars. And improvements made in property damage, absence from work, enforcing traffic laws, parking infrastructure, driver training, accident forensics, and on and on. My point was just to defend humans from the hyperbole that we drive all horribly today. We have cumulatively driven trillions of kilometers. Our cities and entire economies function because for the most part when you get into a car, you can expect to arrive at your destination. This is no small feat. But yes I look forward to self-driving cars vastly improving on "okay".
