That's not an interesting story though. We always had tired/drunk/reckless drivers, and we accept having death and injury due to those. But we don't accept death/injury due to poor FSD, regardless of whether on average it is a better driver. There are several reasons for this a) self driving cars don't have a personal interest or "skin in the game" in avoiding accidents. Only business reasons are involved. b) It's new tech. We accept old risks, but not new ones. Just like we'd never accept the consumption of alcohol or tobacco if it was invented today, regardless of how dangerous they are compared to other substances. They are bad enough to be banned as new tech, no doubt. So self driving cars need to not only be safer than human drivers for acceptance, but significantly safer. They might be, and especially further into the future when the number of human drivers is smaller and there are good protocols for collaborating among self driving vehicles. But while they are the novelty the stories will look like this, and for good reason.
