You say we need to investigate autonomous vehicle crashes, I agree.

We haven't done this with people because there's not much to investigate; someone drinks, drives, and crashes, there's not much to gain from serious scientific investigation here. Autonomous vehicles are different and we would benefit from more focused scientific investigation of autonomous vehicle accidents.

The idea that there's not much to investigate after an accident — that every accident is idiosyncratic — is one of the great lies of the auto industry (and their buddies, transportation planners).
