I think of electric vehicle fires and jet airliner crashes.

Also, telsa self-driving. yes, we know about the greatly publicized accidents, or the tweets of the founder, but the avoided incidents not so much.

This is where the industry made and continues to make mistakes wrt autonomous driving.

They should be able to quantitatively say how many crashes were reduced, avoided and spotted. The autonomous safety system should be running all the time and it should detect not only issues with primary vehicle but it should also catalog issues it sees in other vehicles in its vicinity.

We shouldn't have gotten AD before we got automated crash avoidance.
