A million people each year. That's the only justification you need. They don't need to be perfect, they just need to kill less people than we do, which isn't far off.<br><br>People's discomfort with AI isn't worth the lives of people.,(reply>), They keep saying driving is a privilege, and I keep seeing people with a driver's license that are not qualified to drive. In reality, they lowered the bar for a drivers license until they could almost just hand one out to anyone that asks.,(reply>), @xVancha the problem comes with who's ultimately in control of that car, for me. I won't want one that could be tampered with externally (so any cellular or remote shutoff hardware would get pulled the moment it got into my garage). And I'm trusting my life to this thing, I better see the source code... I've broken, hacked or otherwise tampered with too many electronic things in my time to stick myself in a 2,000 pound box of metal with the only thing needed to kill me is a bored script-kiddie and a laptop.<br><br>If I could secure that thing to my tastes (meaning that nobody from scriptkiddies to the FBI getting access to the gas and brakes) , then yeah, I'd eat it up.,(reply>), @xVancha  sometimes, freedom does require you to hurt others. (not so much in this case),(reply>), @seigeengine I think it suffices to say poorer regions have fewer cars most likely, so fewer cars existing on the road.    And traffic accidents are a much more serious financial hit  for those who couldn't afford to upgrade, so perhaps, the number of accidents might be low.  ,(reply>), @Yicheng Yang It would be like any other piece of machinery in an accident, if it was an unforeseen mechanical failure or combination of unusual circumstance its just an accident. If someone didn't do their job properly and caused the accident they are to blame, few RTCs are "just accidents" though. There are things like blowouts and deceptive road surfaces but most are driver error.
