  • Why wouldn’t we accept that? We accept so many deaths by human car drivers.

    It won’t be hard to have self-driving cars be 10 times safer, which will save many lives. But that does mean we have to accept some deaths by self-driving cars.

    No deaths would be awesome, but for that we would have to completely restructure all existing traffic infrastructure. In the current case there will allways be scenarios where even the best drivers (human or robot) won’t be able to avoid a collision.





  • That’s true in theory, but if you talk about megameters to a European you’ll get very weird looks.

    An engineer will understand what you mean, but still laugh at you.

    But it’s a non-issue for anything on earth, where you’ll have 40.000 kilometers at most. Not a lot of time is spent talking about x thousand kilometer.

    Any notion that a kilometer is “too small” is laughable.
