Fair is fair. If a self-driving car is a safer driver than John Doe, but we don’t allow that self-driving car on the road, perhaps we should revoke John Doe’s drivers’ license as well.
Car culture in the US has started to evoke that old saw: "If you owe the bank a thousand dollars, you have a problem. If you owe the bank a billion dollars, the bank has a problem."
Our society would be a lot better off if we regularly revoked the licenses of unsafe drivers. But the entire nation is designed around car ownership, so doing that today would be an unconscionable human rights violation.
