It is actually very bad. Amazon ships ~2M packages per day by one estimates. Assume only 10% of these gets drone delivered. This would translate to 66 crashes each day. If only 10% of these crashes happen on people, it would be 6 people randomly getting killed each day.
I'm guessing its != 0
You can do a thought experiment: Let's say airplanes failed at 100X of current rates but it was relatively still less number of deaths if people drove that distance by themselves. Would you be able to argue airplane failure rate was still acceptable? For drones, I bet there would be an immediate movement for banning the whole thing if there was a single drone ever fell on playing kindergartners randomly. This is one situation where just bringing data and making rational arguments don't work.
Let's punish drones then...
For me? Absolutely. For most of the people I spend time with? Yes. For the majority of the population? No.
This is why bringing numbers and logic to the arena is so important.
Otherwise, we spend billions avoiding 10 deaths while we could avoid other deaths for mere thousands. Much like coal and nuclear. The level of lunacy is hard to deal with for me.
> Delivery truck crashing into car is a human mistake.
Actually, all drone mistakes are human mistakes. Even if the drone was put together by machine, it was a human process that created it.
