But human-driven cars kill tens of thousands of people a year in the US. I think improving that is really important for our society.
It is very sad that this pedestrian died and companies that kill people through avoidable accidents like this should be punished. Uber specifically seems like a trash tier self-driving car research program and I wouldn’t mind if they just stopped.
But one day, even a system that’s far safer than human drivers is going to kill someone accidentally. It is going too far to say, a method of driving cars that ever kills somebody should be abandoned.
