As if the two groups don't overlap! As if the regular commuters are completely innocent and the people who enjoy driving both have and cause all the accidents! As if robocars could not and would not have any accidents! As if people who commute to work by car are forced into it and have no choice about being road users!

I disagree with all four implied statements.

a good half of driving accident victims did not and could not see it coming.

Then why do so many other countries have fewer road deaths per hundred thousand people and also fewer road deaths per miles travelled?

See how the USA is way down in 40th position - more dense countries, countries with more dangerous driving weather, other big sparse countries, other rich countries, much poorer countries are all above the USA. Switch the table to deaths per vehicle miles travelled and the USA is still barely in the top 10.

Just luck? Or better driver training so their drivers can see potential accidents coming and avoid them?

I know, arguing not hacker news. But someone is wrong on the internet. It might even be me!
