    Ai has a proven track record of causing less accidents, and killing far fewer animals per km traveled than the average driver.

    92% fewer accidents involving animals than the average human.

    Ai doesn’t drink, get distracted, or smoke meth like the ml mods.

      Public transportation does this too and isn’t controlled by some company trying to make graphs go up

      I believe these cars drive on the same roads all day, whereas people are likely to be driving in and out of areas these systems are not familiar with. I suppose a good comparison would be of a taxi driver that only operates in the same area as the driverless cars, if that exists.

      And have a nice habit of being turned off before the accident so the AI didn’t cause the accident. Numbers are bullshit.
