Cruise robotaxi collides with fire truck in San Francisco, leaving one injured::A crash between Cruise robotaxi and a San Francisco Fire Department truck occurred last night in Tenderloin. The incident happed a week after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved 24/7 autonomous taxi ride services.
It’s also the only acceptable level.
Let’s say autonomous vehicles were ten times safer than human drivers, but still not 100%. Would you let those people die by denying them the technology?
No, because most drivers are idiots. Comparing with the average is comparing against idiots.
Planes are mostly on auto pilot these days, where most accidents are actually due to pilot error. Will you never go on a single flight for the rest of your life unless it’s somehow 100% (not 99%, not 99.9%, but 100%) safe?
The only way to get to 100% is to ban cars.
