> Another aspect that is important but easy to miss - deaths caused by an autonomous vehicle are learning experiences - once a couple have happened there will be an engineering response and they will stop happening.

A death isn't the same as running into a stationary emergency vehicle of course, but AFAIK Tesla hasn't taken any meaningful engineering response to that issue. Assuming they will to other issues seems overly generous.

OTOH, Waymo seems to have only crashed into one bus, assuming it would move over.
