If the denominator doesn't matter, then there have been 0 accidents of any kind in the last femtosecond due to humans. Clearly that means autonomous vehicles are a menace, right? Or maybe it's rate of accidents not the absolute number that matters?

What are you even trying to prove? Yeah, the denominator matters man! I agree! Statistics are great and I don't think I was trying to say that "0 is less than 9." I was simply pointing out that this article is stupid and doesn't actually prove anything, which is why the parent brought this up as "in other news."
But then again, you're defending a clickbait headline about a robot getting into an accident that it may or may not be responsible for that didn't even result in someone being injured.
