Is there any evidence that a technology with billions of dollars in potential would not be used if it was only 99.99% ready?  I feel like lots of dangerous stuff has been deployed when it was nowhere near 99% in the past, and I&#x27;m not sure why this technology would be any different.  People talk about it like it&#x27;s a lot different, but how safe are regular cars?  Nuclear power?  Coal power?  Honestly I don&#x27;t even know what the state of the science is on cell phones causing brain cancer anymore because I decided that I didn&#x27;t want to know.<p>Why does everyone think we&#x27;ll be smarter on waiting to deploy driverless cars until they are safe, given our history of doing the exact opposite for the last couple hundred years?
