It is the same as speed limits. Very good or excellent drivers can drive much faster than the speed limit and be just as safe as the average driver at the speed limit, or a very poor driver going much slower than the speed limit.
These things are set so that, on average, everyone is safer. If allowing self driving cars raises the safety of everyone on average, it makes sense.
Personally, I would be in favour of everyone having to either use a self driving car or gain an advanced driving certificate so they could drive manually. One that only 10-20% of people could pass, this would include an in depth theoretical section as well as a 2-3 hour driving test.
- tonymet 22d agoSpeed limits have the ability to make everyone safer. An excellent driver, who is safe at 80, will be safer at 65. mandating automated driving makes excellent drivers less safe. An excellent driver, who has better skills than poor drivers, and automated driving systems, will be less safe when riding in the automated car.
