>> Driverless cars will bring safer roads in terms of exposure measures like deaths/injuries per 1 Million/km. That's what Google's marketing says. Independent research indicates that self-driving cars may need to be driven many hundreds of millions, or even billions, of miles before their safety is actually proven [1]. This makes sense. For self-driving cars to be safer than human drivers, they don't just need faster reaction times, they also need an ability to understand and reason about their environment that is as good as humans'. And that's a long way off. _____________ [1] Driving to Safety: How many miles of driving would it take to demonstrate autonomouse vehicle reliability? https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/... Autonomous vehicles would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles and sometimes hundreds of
billions of miles to demonstrate their reliability in terms of fatalities and injuries.
