Call me old-fashioned, but if a car kills people at ten times the rate of other cars,
the company covers up the data,
and the CEO lies to the public and says the cars are safer…
I think that CEO should go to jail on fraud charges.

This surprises me a bit. I haven't followed self-driving as closely as other AI (can't afford a new car!) but I've been largely convinced by the argument that however crappy current self-driving vehicles are in absolute terms, in relative terms humans are such erratic drivers that are the machines are safer in the aggregate.
@HumanServitor @protecttruth , as far as I can tell, the difference is where the driving occurs. The self driving cars suck in the city at slow speeds, but are far better than humans on highways. Highways are where most deaths occur. So get a self driving car if you want to live, and drive it yourself in town.
