so if the other cars have 5x less miles on autopilot compared to tesla you expect to see 0 crashes even though the probability of a crash is the same



Why are we moving the goal posts to « other manufacturers drive less miles so statistically it’s still OK to kill people »?


I would like the goal post somewhere around “Is safer in every situation than a skilled and concentrated human driver”


Right, and so by that standard, self-driving companies should have literally zero death attributed to them per year given how few miles they drive compared to human drivers.

That is: until self-driving cars ride much more, obviously.


Because currently 40,000 people die every year in the US from car crashes, so it has been decided that it's ok to kill a certain amount of people with cars for a long time.
