Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why?

I would think airplanes - the accident rate per mile is far lower so there’s much less opportunity for failures, and airplane maintenance and use are much better regulated, making it easier to eliminate the autopilot as the cause if something does go wrong.

The reason plane accidents are less common is because the worst licensed pilot is more competent than the average licensed driver by a wide margin
