The car industry's argument against this would be: who cares if the car makes a mistake a human whould never make if the overall statistics of (fatal) accidents go down?

Also my argument.
What if you are a better-than-average driver?
Every car accident (2) I've ever been in involved someone else making a mistake, so my driving skill isn't particularly relevant.
Maybe that's because you drive better than average, and you should be worried about FSD vehicles.
That doesn't make any sense.

If an FSD vehicle is better at driving than the average driver, then I am safer, regardless of my driving ability, because it means other cars are less likely to crash into me.

If I am above average driver, I can make the choice to continue driving instead of letting FSD take the wheel, but I probably won't.
