But expecting perfection before any prototyping is allowed is insane and counter to all history. The standard for human drivers or human-driven cars is not perfection. Nor should it or can it be for autonomous ones.
What exactly do you have against reducing deaths by reducing those caused by tired, distracted, incompetent, drunk, senile, overly aggressive humans thanks to electronics prone to none of the above? Is concern over the infinitesimally likely scenario of having to choose between crashing into an oncoming bus or going off the side of a cliff (and what are the perfect human solutions there incidentally?) worth not preventing the far more probable accident-causing scenarios of folks driving too close and too fast, solvable easily by current technology?
