No, but at least from the PoV of public perception the situation is easier to deal with in a way that allays fear.<p>In your example that one drive is taken off the road. That drive is not a problem, and people assume that the remaining drivers are, for the most part, fine and unlikely to make the same mistake.<p>In the automated truck example you can&#x27;t take that one driver off the road because barring equipment failure they are all the same driver and just as likely to make the same mistake.<p>If one human driver kills in such a manner, people will distrust that one human driver (or at worst that one trucking company, if bad training or other compliance issues are suspected), if one automated truck kills in such a manner people will distrust <i>all</i> automated trucks.
