    I'd like to see us treat autonomous road safety the way we treat aircraft safety

To do that you need to increase your standards for being a car driver up to being a pilot. Since most accidents would involve human error.

If our goal is truly to work towards Level 5 autonomy, then by definition most accidents couldn't involve human error other than a person hurling themselves in front of such a vehicle.

Yeah, but training will cost a multiple thousand dollars and the car would go for a checkup every week.

That is what I am trying to say. It is not feasible. There are less airplanes or pilots compared to all cars and drivers out there. You can't have the same standard
