>Even taking your complaints at their maximum impact: would you rather be delayed by a thousand confused robots or run over by one certain human?

Depending on the relative rates and costs of each type of mishap it could go either way. There is a crossover point somewhere.

The fact that you're coming right out the gate with a false dichotomy and appeal to emotion on top tells me that deep down you know this.

I think his point is explicitly that that crossover point is rather high.

And let's not forget that crashes, in addition to their other costs, do cause significant delays themselves.
