What if instead of optimizing for safety, we held road deaths at the 2018 level & self-driving cars just got us to the destination really damn fast?
Anything to back this up? My understandings is that they're already an order of magnitude safer per-mile-driven, albeit in fairly sandboxed settings.

Self-driving cars are unreliable garbage. If they weren’t we would already have self-driving trains and subways which are way easier to control by computers than cars. But we don’t.

Christoph is totally correct, if you want to see with your own eyes, recommend you visit Phoenix metro area where they *despise* the Waymo vehicles screwing up even in perfect weather conditions on perfect roads

The only thing I expect to come out of this self-driving car craze is somewhat improved cruise controls that automatically brake before obvious collisions and maybe automatically copy the preceding car’s speed.

I already have this on my Chevy and it works pretty well* *as long as the road is well-marked**, doesn't curve too much, and it's not too dark or too bright **even with good markings it still gets fooled at highway off-ramps
