    It doesn’t have to be perfect. Hundreds of thousands die annually in car crashes. The bar isn’t that high.

      Making them die by Ai instead by human doesn’t help anybody.

        I think assuming AI will be as bad at driving is a bad assumption.

  You’re just making an argument for better regulations and testing. Let’s start with elderly drivers, who are no longer physically and mentally capable of the maneuvering required to operate a vehicle at speed. Anyone over 65 should have to retest on a regular schedule. And when they fail, they lose their car too.

  And all of this is an argument for effective and reliable PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
