SYNOPSIS
How safe does a driverless car need to be?
It is suggested that driverless cars will need to be driven for 11 billion miles to prove that they are safer than human-driven vehicles.
That’s 20,000 times to the moon and back! While this may in itself seem to be impractical, imagine being asked to do it for each application – be it deploying in central London or rural Warwick! But the benefits of driverless cars are immense.
So should we wait until the time we have “absolutely safe” driverless cars to introduce them? Can anything ever be absolutely safe?
