> From a hard-core libertarian perspective, the state has no right to exist

That's a completely bogus argument- you're conflating anarchism with libertarianism in order to make libertarians look bad.

That's not anarchism. Self driving cars are already safer than humans.

If something is already safer than humans, then it should be deployed in mass, NOW. Screw the laws. Or get rid of them.

A million people die every year due to cars. The market can fix this if government gets out of the way.

The argument I gave was distinctly anarcho-capitalist. But, of course, there are plenty of statist arguments for reducing regulation.
"The state has no right to exist" is basically the definition of anarchism.
There's certainly a division between libertarian minarchists and libertarian anarchists, but I'm talking about the most "hard-core" application of the NAP.
