Ai has a proven track record of causing less accidents, and killing far fewer animals per km traveled than the average driver.

92% fewer accidents involving animals than the average human.

Ai doesn't drink, get distracted, or smoke meth like the ml mods.

    There are also a lot of people out there that will intentionally swerve to hit an animal. Mark Rober made a video a long time ago where 6% of drivers went out of their way to hit animals that were just chilling on the shoulder.

    here you dropped this

    per capita

    your figures (though I doubt them) don't include the skew of driver vs driverless vehicles. of course driverless cars are 92% less likely to have an accident involving animals. that's because driverless cars account for less than 1% of the entire vehicle population.

    but it does randomly hallucinate.

    I believe these cars drive on the same roads all day, whereas people are likely to be driving in and out of areas these systems are not familiar with. I suppose a good comparison would be of a taxi driver that only operates in the same area as the driverless cars, if that exists.
