I’d still much rather be killed by a fellow human than a corporation controlled entity.

“Greater good” has been the excuse for some astonishingly bad ideas.

Over a million people a year die from traffic related incidents. It's arguably the most dangerous things many people do aside from poor diets and smoking. We need to bring this number down, and quickly. It's not going to happen as long as humans are driving.

Agree, but the solution can't involve giving away autonomy to private corporations.
