Literally his whole channel is about the problems with humans. This one video is about AVs. That it doesn't get more headlines in general is part of the problem.
The more important point that you ignore, is that we already know how to make things much saver.
> and self-driving cars don't suddenly fix that (something which was never promised or expected?)
Except the companies and all the fans who constantly claim that self driving will be better then all public transport and solve future urban problems.
To say that nobody makes such claims is just a strange ignoring of reality.
And you again, ignore the deeper point that self-driving cars reenforce these problems and potentially make things worse.
> - whenever you mention reducing millions of human-caused traffic fatalities, use a sarcastic tone of voice
Not sure what your point here is. The point of the video, partly is that we can already reduce the traffic deaths by far cheaper means then AV and nobody cares about that.
So all these claims about the amazing benefits (that hasn't been delivered) is mostly just hiding that what these companies really want is profit and the politicians want campaign benefits from these companies, rather then improve safety in the city.
Again, the point being that AV as currently sold and advertised re-enforce existing problems, rather then solve them.
> He says it himself: self-driving cars are just cheaper taxis.
He didn't say that. He said, 'at best they are cheaper taxis', but at worst the have many non-beneficial impacts on society.
And more important, there are simply better solutions.
