Isn't that a point in favor of the automated cars, that we can then fix/prevent that behavior for every single car from that point forward, whereas with humans, we can't and don't patch every human driver whenever a human does something horribly stupid - and a massive number of human drivers do horribly stupid things every single day, right?

[Shitty-kitty]

The point is because they are all identical they should not be compared to the "average," a pool of good and bad drivers but rather good drivers alone. Unless you mandate "no more humans on the road" is is not the speed-daemons and lane-cutters that will choose automated cars.

Humans learn from mistakes and feel the repercussions. We understand this starting from when we’re infants.

The 1 individual human might learn from their horrible mistake, but not the other x billion humans (nor the many people every minute who drive for the first time).

And even the 1 human who made the mistake might forget it after some years, or make the same mistake again as they become elderly, etc.
