Humans are not getting any better at driving. Self-driving cars will eventually lead to tens of thousands of human lifes saved annually. Why do you want to prevent this?

will eventually

You’re looking for “may eventually”. We’re not anywhere near this so using it as a current argument is rather silly.

Waymo gives 100,000+ rides a week and has never killed anyone, to my knowledge. Seems like it might already be safer than a human driver, it must have millions of miles driven.

Will it? All I have seen is that self driving cars will decide to kill people because they cannot make decisions about life in a way that preserves it.

Maybe in like 1000 years plus they might become good enough but by that time the conditions that make cars a necessity would be no more or at least severly reduced.

Do you have any examples?
