    If the total number of road deaths decreases then it’s a net benefit, regardless of whether some were killed by automation or some were killed by human error. I just want the number to decrease. It will never be zero. Don’t make good the enemy of perfect.

      total number of road deaths

      No, I wasn’t asking about any anonymous ‘total number’. Just you, specifically, and your car, specifically.

        You’re arguing for no self-driving until it’s perfect, which is insane, so I’m not going to bother responding further. I don’t want this to descend any further into a waste of time.
