Accountability is important. If a human driver is dangerous, they get taken off the roads and/or sent to jail. If a self driving car kills somebody, it’s just “oops, oh well, these things happen, but shareholder make a lot of money so never mind”.
I do not want “these things happen” on my headstone.

So you would prefer to have higher chances of dying, just to write “Joe Smith did it” on it?

But if a human driver is dangerous, and gets put in jail or get taken off the roads, there are another 3 or more dangerous human drivers already taking their place. If the rate of accidents and rate of fatal accidents with self-driving vehicles is way down versus human drivers, you are actually risking your life more by trusting in human drivers and taking way more risks that way.
