PS: I also never claimed I rather have 20000 more people die for accountability...

You said it's not a question of how much safer it is. You said it's a question of accountability. So even if it were 50% safer, you claimed it was wrong.

And here's the thing man, I understand where you're coming from ij that you shouldn't reduce a life to numbers. But how does AI driving fundamentally change the current situation?

Car companies already do this. They calculate whether or not fixing a safety problem will cost more or less than the lawsuits from all the dead people. There's a famous documented case of this. Maybe it's the Ford / Pinto thing you are referencing.

If you think of AI driving as a safety feature - like seatbelts - would you support it? I don't know what the actual statistics are, but presumably it's only going to get better over time.
