Let's not automatically assume that self-driving cars will be safer than the average driver in the foreseeable future.

Right now the best way to reduce car fatalities is reducing the number of cars by eliminating single family zoning mandates, building safe cycling infrastructure, improving public transit frequency, allowing mixed-use buildings and walkable neighborhoods.

Boring stuff, yes, but unlike self-driving cars, it is something we already know how to do.
