    Interesting video but he played a bit loose with the facts. He talked in great length about that car where a woman was killed by a self driving car, but left it a crucial detail: there was a safety driver on board who didn’t do her job. Doesn’t exactly help with credibility.

      That’s a real world example of what happens when you have self-driving (even in beta mode with some safety features turned off to prevent that from happening). Obviously the driver this manually override and stop the car before hitting the person. It doesn’t even need any searching: the story itself makes that clear if it mentions the car hit someone.

      A lot of this is a game of probabilities, which I don’t really think we have.

      For instance if a normal human driver, without any automation, can prevent 80% of dangerous situations, but the automation can only prevent 50%, and in those situations the human savety driver can prevent only another 50%, because of inattention, this results in just 75% of dangerous situations prevented and the automation is worse.

      Maybe someone knows the real probabilities, I don’t.
