Context is important. If we focused on perfect safety like this for other forms of transportation we’d never fly, take trains, drive cars, ride on boats, or anything else. Self driving has a significantly better safety record than humans. That context is critical. It doesn’t mean that we stop striving to be safer; it just means it’s reasonable to use it in many circumstances.
