That may be the narrative, but I don't think that's the data.


The data is that currently, self-driving cars are more dangerous than human-driven cars. The data is that there have already been 6 fatalities despite self-driving cars being owned/used primarily by drivers in the lowest-risk populations, in some of the best road conditions for driving. The data is that self-driving cars are far from ready to taking over the roads.


I don't consider Tesla's autopilot to be "self-driving", but rather a limited driver aid.

Uber's crash is the only fatality I'm aware of in a truly self-driving car.
