The safety argument for autonomous vehicles is premature at best and dishonest at worst

what about obstacles such as CPU/software failure or corruption -it's not like that never happens

Or what about transitional incrementalism - the idea that the entire system of land-based transportation will not all transition to an autonomous state at the flip of a switch, thus exponentially increasing variables related to safety.

Im guessing triple redundancy might be the only solution. As reliable as solid state can be, especially potted and high-quality Japanese components, even one accident will have the naysayers slamming the panic button down repeatedly just like they do now for low volume recalls like Ford Exploders and Toyota Runaways.

Exactly. The OT is full of a bunch of old Luddites.

what is your main point?
