Don't understand the hang up about this. Self Driving cars were always going to kill people. It's not possible to be 100% safe but even a minute improvement over human drivers would save thousands of lives a year.
I don't understand why people insist on believing that they are already more safe than human drivers when the evidence suggests that they are currently much, much less safe.
> There is no evidence that they are anywhere close to surpassing human...
Famous last words.
