The way we resort to double standards when judging the risks of what is novel against what is current can be an obstacle to genuine progress
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) could eliminate human fallibility: inattentiveness, recklessness, and even intoxication that claim so many lives. Yet one death caused by a self-driving car seems to weigh heavier than thousands caused by human drivers. Isn’t that odd?
Certainly, human beings have often closed themselves off to change due to the same fear or uncertainty that technology brings with it, being aware that no one would think about how far it has come and how much easier it has made all aspects of our lives.
