What has convinced you of this?
- js2 12y agoBecause an accident caused by a self-driving car will have huge financial consequences (liability) for the manufacturer. So there's no way self-driving cars will ship when they merely reduce the total number of deaths. They'll need to be nearly perfect. Can you imagine the headlines if there were thousands of deaths caused by self-driving cars even if it were say a 10x reduction in total deaths?
