Toyota's Gill Pratt on Self-Driving Cars and the Reality of Full Autonomy
> if autonomous cars are even just 1 percent safer than humans, we should still be using them<p>We could improve safety by at least 1% in lots of other ways: lowering speed limits, requiring rear view cameras, raising the licensing age and requiring more frequent tests, cracking down on drunk driving, etc. Building a fully autonomous vehicle seems unnecessarily elaborate to get a 1% safety.
