    Yeah but when actual human drivers are the competition the bar isn’t that high

      My thought as well. “Running red lights and killing people” sounds scary until you realize that’s already what we’re living with.

      How do the rates compare when we look at AI vs human drivers? AI vs perfection isn’t as useful a metric.

      Fuck Elon and all his shit companies, but AI has a lot of potential, especially in things we suck at like driving.

        Make the companies who put self-driving in their vehicles liable for the vehicles insurance. This would work two fold as this ensures the ability to meet the financial payout in the case of an accident because they have the financial backing of the whole company instead of an individual, and it incentivises them to improve safety to minimise insurance claims and costs.

      While there are bad drivers that make terrible mistakes, I would hope they would brake for a child crossing the street if seen, rather than self driving that just didn’t register it and plows through.

        I’m sure a quick Google search will reveal a multitude of cases where that wasn’t the case. People kill kids with cars all the time, in fact the only greater danger to a child’s life in the US is being shot.
