If solution does not solve anything, what's the point of the „solution“? Most of the deaths on the road I hear in my country are the result of someone doing something really reckless and stupid. „Normal“ drivers do not kill themselves or others. So if self-driving car is only as good as a dumb driver — I do not want these cars on the road. Also, interetingly enough there is little talk about human driver assisted by technology, not replaced by it. For some reason it is binary: either humand driver or self-driving. How about some human drivers plus collsion avoidance system, infrared sensing system (way too many people die there simply becaue they walk on the road in the dark without any reflectors/lights), etc.
