> You already share the road with inattentive drivers and drunks...

The second is a crime and I believe the first is a misdemeanor. Getting caught in either scenario repeatedly will cause you to lose your license.

So we may share the road with dangerous drivers, but we don't accept it. So it isn't grounds to accept more danger.

Really this line of argument is always wrong. The presence of danger should make you less comfortable accepting additional danger, not more. It's not like they cancel out, they sum. (One might say that mature and accessible self driving technology would take these drivers off the road, but the situation today is immature technology and high end vehicles.)

As a self described rationalist, I think you should take another look at that - to me, it reads like you're saying that because it doesn't feel like we're taking on additional marginal risk in comparison to the risks we've already taken on, we don't need to worry about how we're actually doing so, so I was caught a bit off guard when you said you were a rationalist.

Also, is it essentially the same "driver" in all those Teslas? If one driver was responsible for 33 deaths over a couple of years, they'd have lost their license long ago!
