Perspectivist@feddit.uk 1 day agoIf there were a news article for every time a human driver did something extremely dumb behind the wheel, like there is for when an AI driver does, you’d never see those articles about self-driving cars - the feed would be completely flooded with stories about the stupid things human drivers do.

And that’s because for every robot taxi there are literally millions of human drivers.

And thus it’s newsworthy when they do something stupid which then skews your perception of how safe and reliable they actually are. Deaths caused by self-driving vehicles are extremely rare.
