    Humans die in car crashes all the time. It’s one of the leading causes of premature death. If a self driving car is proven to have a statistically lower rate of accidents than a human, then that’s enough for me. A microprocessor can make much quicker decisions than a human, it’s just a matter of giving it the right information (cameras, lidar, radar).

      You take your chance in your country, not in mine. I refuse to be a statistic. Also cars kill trough cancer, by the pollution they emit through their construction, usage and elimination. See cancer in the figures above. These cancer don’t popup for no reason.

      Your microprocessor was fooled by a traffic cone, see the picture of the article. I won’t let this robot decide the cause of my death.
