    Humans are literally responsible for all preventable things in society.

    Did I says “humans” or did I say “human drivers”? We’re not talking about liquidating all humans, we’re talking about replacing them at the task of driving.

    Totally no other spots in society where machines have replaced formerly human done tasks to make work safer, what a crazy idea that is right! /s

      Yes and saying “human drivers” are often at fault when talking about smashing up motor vehicles is just as silly.

      As you can also say; Hey, did you know that 100% of deaths related with driverless cars involved software?

        Yes, except that we can then compare which is safer.

        So far, when done gradually and responsibly, it turns out that software seems safer.

            While I agree that data should be public, them not wanting every crash to be reported on publicly probably has something to do with the fact that mobs are burning their cars down at the present moment, even though they’re statistically safer than normal drivers.

              even though they’re statistically safer than normal drivers.

              Safer according to Waymo data, who has a history of and is currently hiding data.
