According to the link below there are 529 accidents per 100 million miles driven for people aged 20-29. That is a bit better than 99.999% reliable.

Self driving needs to get down to 1 intervention in 200k miles to match the average 20 year old. They have a long way to go.

You think humans are only 99% reliable on a per-mile basis?! That would mean your average person crashes every ~100 miles, or about once every two days.

You can not just go around asserting comparative advantage when your baseline is so far off it is farcical.

People would rather die due to their action or inaction than due a botched software update somewhere.

It's not 99% reliable, but even if it was, the issue is lawyers. Who is going to take responsibility when a pedestrian is hit?
