11 statements about Human Drivers, every show
Younis: Self-driving data proves autonomous vehicles are far safer than humans
“And by the way, the self-driving thing, as an example, you know, whichever way you slice the statistics that are available from self-driving companies, they're supremely, supremely more safe than human drivers.”
Buttigieg: Some autonomous vehicle tech is already safer than human drivers
“I think we're at the point where at least some of these technologies right now already are safer than human beings, and that's only going to increase and improve.”
Abbott: Human Drivers Will Always Coexist With Autonomous Trucks
“Like you will always have human drivers and you will have autonomous cars or trucks.”
Dolgov: Waymo experiences 6x fewer airbag-deployment collisions than humans
“So for airbag, you know, deployment type collisions, we're about a factor of six better than human drivers.”
Pande: Delaying self-driving cars increases preventable driver fatalities
“Or like the self-driving cars, right? Like self-driving cars now in many cases could be safer than human drivers, but you make if, but they won't be perfect, but people I think can't reason that actually you're killing people by having humans drive once self-d…”
Teller: Autonomous driving delays stem from human drivers' legal gray areas
“One of the things that I think caught Waymo by surprise, got us by surprise, is that there are a lot of things that human drivers do that if we want to follow the laws, we can't do. Those humans just kind of like are in the gray area a lot about how they choos…”
Andreessen: Self-driving cars already have lower accident rates than humans
“And the way that self-driving cars score this is accidents per thousand miles driven, and self-driving cars are already lower than human drivers.”
Vogt: Autonomous vehicles can become 10x to 100x better than human drivers
“With these systems, they, you know, they're already good. The ones we have today are safe, but there's no reason to me why we can't see them become 10 times better or a hundred times better than human drivers.”
Schneider: Centralized traffic coordination is vastly superior to independent human drivers
“You have so many people making independent decisions, which is massively inferior to one thing guiding all traffic, right?”
Pope: Future cities will restrict human drivers to dedicated lanes
“And at that point, we will have to take the right to drive away from people, unless they're in dedicated, you can drive it lanes. We now have bike lanes which are dedicated and special. You can drive your own vehicle lanes are going to become dedicated and spe…”
