> Self driving cars will also be easily safer than meat bucket controlled ones.

This is a pretty generous assumption you're granting here.




We’re already granting the assumption that these self driving cars are generally popular. For that to be the case, they’ll have to be safer than humans or people won’t be okay with letting them on the roads in large numbers.


That's another mighty assumption. The new shiny doesn't have to be better or safer for it to be popular.


Human drivers are atrocious. It won't be hard to be better than them.


> It won't be hard to be better than them.

That's another very generous assumption wrapped in a truism.

I'd say it's one of the more difficult problems problems in the industry, given the billions of dollars poured into it.


It only needs to be solved once
