"There is great technology journalism being done today, but it tends to appear in specialist publications that cater to tech-savvy audiences," he pop-scienced, while writing a blogpost that wouldn't be seen by Google

@bruces that was an interesting article but I "can't endorse" the approach taken with self-driving.

Abusing math a bit, the denominator he described is not miles driven, it's who you're replacing. Humans vary widely in how awake, attentive, and sober they are. When a self-driving does better than them an aggregate it may just be doing better than the sleepy, inattentive, or impaired driver.

Thus it may be a bad recommendation for the better driver to adopt it.

@John @bruces
similarly, interventions to make sleepy/inattentive/impaired drivers do better may be more effective than shifting to full autopilot.
