My thought as well. "Running red lights and killing people" sounds scary until you realize that's already what we're living with.

How do the rates compare when we look at AI vs human drivers? AI vs perfection isn't as useful a metric.

Fuck Elon and all his shit companies, but AI has a lot of potential, especially in things we suck at like driving.

Make the companies who put self-driving in their vehicles liable for the vehicles insurance. This would work two fold as this ensures the ability to meet the financial payout in the case of an accident because they have the financial backing of the whole company instead of an individual, and it incentivises them to improve safety to minimise insurance claims and costs.
