On: Self-driving vehicles against human drivers: Equal safety is far from enough

[m463]

More like "people who have never owned or been in a self driving car..." faster horses.

That said, it will happen. I just wonder what will happen as self driving car safety exceeds human drivers. Will people be prohibited/disincentivized to drive?

Average human drivers, or are you including the drunks and other bozos who cause the lion's share of fatalities?

The comparison between all human drivers and all autonomous vehicles is far more complex than "whichever is statistically safer, as a whole". Belittling people who feel differently than you about it muddies the conversation for no reason.
