Digital cameras also didn’t kill or injure people when their limitations were reached.

I remember the QuickTake and all that. Yes, those small pixelated images weren’t the same quality as film but they had other benefits instead.

Self driving cars currently aren’t in a state where they can do anything, even waymo still has safety drivers.

Did pre-digital cameras kill people?

Because dumb cars with dumb humans in them kill far more than self driving cars do.

Vast majority of accidents are caused by drivers (or cyclers, pedestrians) who fail to safely engage in traffic. For the most part, cars don't kill people - people kill people (or, get themselves killed).

> people kill people

which is exactly why removing people out of the equation is the best way to solve the problem. even fully educated and hyper responsible person is not immune to judgement lapses, hallucinations, heart attacks, strokes, losses of consciousness and many more modes of failure.

what's worst - even if i'm 100% sure about myself, even if i take myself out of the equation - there are still thousands murderous humans driving around me.

humans should not be driving cars.

Unfortunately we don't have anything other than humans that can do the job yet. And it's possible we might never have.
