    Self driving cars have the potential of killing even more people.

    if it can perform better on the road than humans.

    Sure! Let’s see how these automatic cars drive when there is fog, or snow, or rain, during the night…you know all these cases that no AI ever trained for. Because when was the last time a CAPTCHA tried you with images with snow, or fog, or night, or rain? Never. I will never allow a self driving car on the road, I will vote against it at every opportunity.

    How is a self driving car different from a robot? So you want to release robots in the city and maybe they will kill some of us? Not okay. We have enough problem, ban it.

    The problem is the car itself, we need smaller cities and to rely less on cars. We don’t have the resources anyway to keep the cars model running.

      Humans die in car crashes all the time. It’s one of the leading causes of premature death. If a self driving car is proven to have a statistically lower rate of accidents than a human, then that’s enough for me. A microprocessor can make much quicker decisions than a human, it’s just a matter of giving it the right information (cameras, lidar, radar).
