> we still manage to drive

not amazingly well, though, because there are millions of victims each year

SDCs are supposed to be better than us, so more sensors make sense.



I'd argue that the majority of victims are the result of humans suppressing their judgment. E.g. not because a human was incapable to drive safely, but purposedly chose to drive unsafely: overtake where it is limited visibility, speeding when conditions do not allow for it.


Attention-related crashes are likely a good chunk as well.

Also unsafe lefts and ran/stale lights. That's probably most all of them between our comments.
