We've discussed this when there were those sudden uncontrollable vehicle accelerations in the news a few years ago
Did we? Because IMO every time it's investigated it turns out to be pedal misapplication, like the original Audi story

and that turns out to be fixed by taking the decision-making process out of the hands of humans.

About 35000 dead every year from accidents, mostly human error... the only question is can the cars do better...

Because the thing is, the car was driving better than I was, when I took it over... I increased the chances of an incident by insisting on driving... I am more susceptible to mistakes than the Tesla, which so far hasn't made any...
