The problem with this is you're using the worst possible examples of driving as a benchmark, and that is quite a low standard to have. Take a look at the best possible examples, instead, and try to improve over that, then we're talking. You cannot be a shitty doctor and bring out an excuse like "Oh, but wait, this guy has lost more patients than me, so I'm fine". You really don't want to have a race to the bottom where human lives are at stake. |

I'm using a high profile example to point out clear issues with how we handle human driver responsibility. If your negligence directly results in you killing someone, you should lose your license to drive.
If we someday reach the point where autonomous driving systems are actually 10x safer than human drivers and those systems still have issues with hitting emergency vehicles, we should absolutely hold those companies responsible for those accidents.
My point is that not holding those companies responsible would be less insane than our current practice of letting clearly negligent drivers continue to drive with minimal consequences after they kill someone.
So instead of being outraged about this hypothetical future, why not be outraged about the insane lack of consequences that drivers face currently?
