It's on par with gun violence, 30,000, 40,000 people a year.
So...
Human drivers have a murderous track record.
It's a little bit different when we talk about professional drivers who have incredible... I mean, I met truck drivers who'd have 2 million miles with no crashes or accidents.
But just as a general rule, most of us, the average driver thinks they're safer than the average driver.
And the average driver stands a shockingly high percentage chance of getting somebody killed.
So...
I think we're at the point where at least some of these technologies right now already are safer than human beings, and that's only going to increase and improve.
And the irony of it is, you know, even a handful of highly publicized negative incidents will really change public acceptance.
So my approach was- And they have, yeah.
Yeah.
So my approach was we do need to be conservative as a safety regulator to make sure it's safe.
Not because I don't believe in the technology, but because I do.
Because I think if people see it unfolding safely, there's going to be more acceptance.
But are there things we could or should do or could or should have done to accelerate AV adoption?
I think the answer is yes.
Like the simple reality is we can't tolerate like it's no big deal.
Human drivers killing more than 100 people a day on our roads.
Yeah, I'm seriously concerned about it.
And part of that's from growing up in the industrial Midwest.
