Re: Autonomous vehicle safety ignored
That's a flawed argument, though. If an autonomous vehicle can't at least match the safety standard of the meatsacks
I don't think the argument is flawed. Put someone entirely untrained in charge of a motor vehicle and you'll have a crash in minutes if not seconds.
The bigger issue is the comparability of the statistics: autonomous vehicles already have the better accident per km statistics but these are in selected environments.
John's original point does stand that, at least in the US, the number of road deaths is staggering but barely reported. If people focussed only on the numbers car drivers, along with gun owners, would have to be considered domestic terrorists.
