Driverless cars will save thousands of lives. How many human driven cars struck and killed someone today? Understandable reaction, but so damn frustrating"Isn't this something like Wynne putting money into pharma ?Moonlight Graham: 'Wynne did what she did not to make the health system the best it can be, but to please the most people most likely to voter for her in the next election. It was a politically motivated move. She's playing with people's lives and health to further her own political power, which is morally reprehensible.'Pulling the Uber car is politically on the money, but ultimately increases the number of deaths that will happen in the future. Right ?
I don't think the cars will have to make that choice as it's presented. It's what they call "an edge case".That's a long way off anyway.
When all is said and done I expect that self-driving cars will have far fewer driver-error fatalities per mile driven than human-driven vehicles.
10 pedestrians are killed by cars every day in the US. 1 gets killed by a robo car and it is international news.
Americans drove about 3.2 trillion miles last yearAutonomous vehicles are less than 0.001% that totalAnything more than 0.04 killed is significant

Sure but 1 case does not a trend make.
True, but we do know that there were 5,600 "disengagements" in Waymo (Google) cars last year. Perhaps most of those were not necessary as the human occupant made an error in taking control, but it is hard to say they all were. There also was another totally automated fatality, that one was in a Tesla which hit a tractor trailer crossing an intersection.
The human still has to be responsible. A pilot can’t say, not my fault we crashed, the autopilot was on.
