Most dangerous way to travel, full stop. FSD or not. I don't think a perfect safety record is possible. Only better than what people currently accomplish given the inherent unsafety of the whole system. If safety were a top priority, the cars would be on rails.

I don't think so. > Most dangerous way to travel, full stop. I love a quote from a famous driver, paraphrasing: "Racing is some people knowing what they're doing driving in a closed circuit. Traffic is the same, but with people who don't know what they're doing". On top of that, I had enough incidents to know that what humans can do in traffic. They make good stories though. > I don't think a perfect safety record is possible. Me, too. > Only better than what people currently accomplish given the inherent unsafety of the whole system. I think cars with driver monitoring is more secure than cars with FSD or hands-free driving. I love to drive cars with lane hold, adaptive cruise and driver monitoring, because these systems improve safety and augment humans at the same time. I don't believe that AI and/or computer vision is close to matching human perception and reasoning to handle a 2ton steel box like humans. Augmenting humans' capabilities is a far safer and reliable (if not unsexier) way. > the cars would be on rails. I love trains to death, but they're not perfect either.
