“. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 2016 data shows 37,461 people were killed in 34,436 motor vehicle crashes, an average of 102 per day.[1]”
“Idiots” that can’t be trusted driving cars: 37,461
Self Driving cars: 1
In fairnewss the Self Driving car stat is for 3 months. The 37,461 is for a full year.
Here’s your sock back
Okay, 37,461 out of 263.6 million cars. That is one death per 7,037 cars. And driverless cars? There are 53 cities doing some level of testing. Say there are even 10x cars in each, that is 530 cars, that is 1 death per 530 cars. And I bet there are only a fraction of that number of driverless cars around. Tell me again which is safer?
The whole POINT of these things were to eliminate HUMAN ERROR.
Now that the advocates know the machines can error, now tehy will get off their high-horse.
One today. Fill the highways with them, and there will be more.
