But if little Becky got killed by a non-autonomous car, there's a lot of shrugs, because cars are awesome.
My point being that FSD cars are even more awesome and society will realize that once they are more numerous. They'll be safer and cheaper, and some collateral damage will be accepted just like it is today.
I’m not saying that FSD wouldn’t be technically awesome. I am saying there would be a lot of political posturing if Becky got killed.
The American citizens won’t accept vaccines, fluoride, and believe that immigrants are eating pets. The very definition of “conservative” is not accepting change.
