> how would you react if your father/mother/sister/son/daughter/etc was the victim?

How you would react when emotionally distraught shouldn’t be the model for how you act all the time.

This. And I think this is why these stats end up posted here when stuff like this happens. Because the emotionally distraught look at this situation and they're like BAN SELF DRIVING CARS! and the people posting stats are here to remind them that they're still safer than regular cars and accidents happen but we can't impede progress because of one accident here and there.

I didn't realize that, it's been a while since I read those. Thank you for the information!
