        Replace Doctors altogether and maybe 210,000 lives/year saved? (hyperbole, but hey) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-many-die-from-medical-mistakes-in-us-hospitals/ …

        yea that's the other part of this. Improving car mortality expects a near complete eradication of traffic deaths

        Yeah, just struck me I may be having more impact consulting on electronic medical software than on self-driving cars.

        100% female drivers would probably save lives too.
