How did you arrive at that conclusion?
In a statement on Wednesday, the GM unit said that it did the recall even though it determined that a similar crash with a risk of serious injury could happen again every 10m to 100m miles without the update.

Emphasis goes on “even though”.
As in “At GM we’re so benevolent that we’re doing a software update even though we think this will only kill someone every 10m miles (which we consider an acceptable murder rate for our cars)”.

How frequently this type of incident occurs is outside the control of GM.

You missed the part where this was specifically about their car dragging the person for 20ft after the crash and pinning them under the wheel?

I didn’t address it because you didn’t say anything about it.

No one was killed in the accident they are stating the rate of.

Yeah, but a car running over a woman, dragging her twenty feet and parking on top of her, could easily have killed her.

Yeah but equally you could argue that if all cars were self-driving this accident wouldn’t have happened. It involved a human making a mistake first.
I kind of feel like we’re getting the wrong takeaway from self driving cars.
