    Will it ever be completely safe? Not likely. Elevators kill people as well.

    Can it be safer than the results we have now with humans driving ourselves and all that carnage? I'm open to that being the case. An 80% drop in fatalities would be huge, but also still leave us with a lot of autonomous cars killing people.

    Quoted from LTG:

    I wish they could perfect it, for rush hour in the mornings.

    No more worrying about people driving while reading the newspaper, eating breakfast, putting on makeup, shaving, etc. etc.

    That would save lives and get people to work in one piece.

    I think that's possible, AND there would be "new" deaths (less of them) caused by the logic of the FSD cars.

    It gets into sticky ethical debates that I'm not sure we'll ever get over. Is "the greater good" enough?

    I don't think it's realistic to have zero deaths caused by FSD. And for reasons already said in this thread, I don't know if I want algorithms deciding my fate, even if that means less deaths overall.
