Yes, yes we do. False advertising / promises aside, autonomous vehicles will likely result in lowered accident and death rates. Until we’ve reached the point that we’ve eliminated private cars entirely, autonomous vehicles would be a step forward.
Absolutely not. All of that is false. Autonomous cars in the US have not shown to have a lower accident rate compared to human drivers. This whole idea of increasing speed limits will also greatly increase the fatality rate of pedestrians and bicyclists.
As was already mentioned in the thread, autonomous cars are trained on American drivers. American drivers are so bad that they’re not allowed to drive in Europe if they’re not a tourist. Here in Sweden, the traffic fatality rate rate is 20 a year per 1 million people, and dropping. The current fatality rate in the us is 129 deaths a year per 1 million people and rising. 43000 dead a year. 0.1% of the US dies off every decade to their own shitty driving. Letting AIs trained by Americans drive cars in Europe will be a bloodbath.
American roads are developing-country bad. I was in DC last month and saw a dozen people with children in the car, texting while driving. I emigrated out of that country and got a real driver’s license here in Sweden. Keep American car culture out of Europe.
Every European country already has proven autonomous electric vehicles called trains, we don’t need Tesla and Google trying to sell us their shitty US version.
how *Americans would behave.
We really don’t want Americans’ autonomous vehicles here.
sincerely,
Europe
Neither would we if we had more trains…
Provided they both run on time and don’t cost more than an airline flight.
