#3Well that's one way to look at creating jobs, I suppose...

#4> Advocates hope self-driving cars can help reduce U.S. road deaths, which rose 7.7 percent in 2015, the highest annual jump since 1966.
This was a news story in itself [1]. It was attributed to increased driving, encouraged by economic factors such as higher employment and lower gas prices.

#6Would be great to see a similar national viewpoint on liability issues with SDCs. For example, who is liable (the car owner? manufacturer? algo writer?)

Yeah, it looks like deaths per mile has been on a steady decline:

algo writer should not be liable, unless it's gross negligence or conscious cover up (like VW cases).
However, i can imagine a set of guideliness adopted into industry which involves slow rollouts of updates (potentially in a multivariate testing manner controlling for speed variance/distribution, response time, collision proximity (?) or collisions avoided, distance traveled, user comfort score, and so on. In other words, due diligence must be done, before rolling out new releases.

The people who pay for self driving car accidents will be the same people as those that pay for them today.
The insurance companies.
Only now, these insurance companies will be paying 1/4th the amount of money they were before, because of the reduced number of accidents.

#10I'm confused...how is capping the number of FSD cars allowed to 25k accelerate anything? Am I missing something?
