> I think we need more stats, studies and trials - I think I might feel more comfortable if accidents of autonomous vehicles were proven to be below accidents by vehicles with human drivers in control. However, ideally, the margin of error should be zero imo.

From the reports Tesla has put out, the number of accidents of cars in self-driving modes is significantly less than when humans are driving, by an order or magnitudes.

Ideally they would not get in accidents at all, but even as of a few years ago they were already significantly safer than a human, so human driving needs to be reducing as much as possible.

Honestly if we could get full self driving of all cars then a lot of the human reactionary things aren’t as needed, they could drive perfectly and smoothly. ^.^
