    You just articulated the “100% or nothing” standard, which totally ignores how unsafe human drivers are. Let’s say humans score an 80% on safety today (after all hundreds of thousands are killed on the roads annually). You’re saying that a technology that’s only 92% safe should not be permitted. Nope. We need that last 8% to be there and we’ll withhold the 12% improvement from the public until it is - even though that has a cost of thousands of lives.

    This is a way to get nowhere and kill as many people as possible.

      I didn’t say 100% but they are not ready to be on public roads when they hit parked fire trucks. Huge objects on the road.
