The technology really isn't there. Individuals' subjective experience of safety is totally irrelevant when you're talking about a system as huge as "automobile travel."
Even 99.999% reliable miles is still dangerous at 3.2 trillion miles per year
- iamronaldo 2y agoWould the comparison not be human drivers? If it's 99% percent reliable I would say that's far safer than humans and makes far more sense already? What am I missing

- metalliqaz 2y agoIt's not 99% reliable, but even if it was, the issue is lawyers. Who is going to take responsibility when a pedestrian is hit?
- Veserv 2y agoYou think humans are only 99% reliable on a per-mile basis?! That would mean your average person crashes every ~100 miles, or about once every two days. You can not just go around asserting comparative advantage when your baseline is so far off it is farcical.
- alemanek 2y agoAccording to the link below there are 529 accidents per 100 million miles driven for people aged 20-29. That is a bit better than 99.999% reliable. Self driving needs to get down to 1 intervention in 200k miles to match the average 20 year old. They have a long way to go. https://www.friedmansimon.com/faqs/how-common-are-car-accidents/ https://www.friedmansimon.com/faqs/how-common-are-car-accide...
