I mean, that’s an obvious one.

But how much better would it need to be? 99.9% or 99.9999999999999999999999%, or just 99.01%

A lot of people will have qualms as long as the chance of dying is higher than zero.

People have very poor understanding of statistics and will cancel holidays because someone in the vicinity of where they’re going got bitten by a shark (the current 10 year average of unprovoked shark bites is 74 per year).

Similarly we can expect people to go “I would never get into a self-driving car” when the news inevitably reports on a deadly accident even if the car was hit by a falling rock.

And then there’s the other question:

Since 50% of drivers are worse than the average - would you feel comfortable with those being replaced by self driving cars that were (proven to be) better than the average?
