    I totally agree with you that the 99.999% safe AI is the better choice. But in the real world, that 0.001% of the time something goes wrong, everyone will totally freak out, and people will question whether self-driven cars should even have a right to exist.

      Except it didn't go wrong. In doubt, the AI erred on the side of safety.

        Well; it did stop in the middle of an intersection and refused to move further... Not an accident, but it could lead to one, and it would severely block traffic.

        Better than running over the hipster cyclist, though, that's for sure.

          Elected to in fact, since you can always override it.
