Umm, this is leaving out the very relevant fact that a pedestrian WAS killed near Phoenix by a self driving Uber.
- jedberg 7y agoThat person wasn't a passenger. My point was that people who are afraid to get in a self driver aren't looking at statistics correctly.
- majewsky 7y agoSo you're safe if you're inside a self-driving vehicle at all times? That's reassuring.

- MiroF 7y agoNo - but this comment is proving the point.
- woofyman 7y ago>And also safer outside of one then outside one driven by a human. Stop making up statistics
