If a robotic taxi can lower the taxi category of accidents by 91% across the board, including death rates, then that’s a positive improvement to society any way you slice it.
The “if” in this sentence is a load bearing word.
With today’s crew running the policy, I don’t think anyone will prevent corporations from unleashing completely unsafe robotic taxis on the public that’ll perform well worse than regular ones. I really wish people would stop making this argument to the corporation’s benefit until we have some data backing it up.
I get that there’s a theoretical possibility that still imperfect robotic taxis could outperform humans, but that’s just theoretical.
With the way corporate accountability is handled (i.e., corporations aren’t held accountable) nowadays, I just don’t see robotic taxis as much more than an accountability sink and at this point I’d prefer taking regular taxis because at least there is someone to fucking hold accountable when things go wrong.

also, who’s getting the most injured? pedestrians, or occupants?
if the net rate of injuries increases among a vulnerable group, that is not okay
