> If we can have self-driving vehicles that are twice as safe as the average human, then they should be allowed on the streets.

Coal power plants kill about 100,000 people a year so a reasonable target for nuclear power is 50,000 a year.

Cigarettes kill 50% of long-term users so a good target for vaping devices is killing 25% of users.

I mean, it's not like we'd stop at 50% and call it good. But then we're at least reducing the number of deaths while we refine things.
