This is great! We're starting to treat car crashes like plane crashes [1].

Now we just need people to treat car crashes like plane crashes even when humans are driving.

Unfortunately, given that that would result in dozens to hundreds of fatality accident investigations a day, this is likely impossible.

It's like self-driving cars suddenly sidestepped a hundred years of normalized deviance and everyone is finally, suddenly realizing that cars are fundamentally, spectacularly, and unrelentingly lethal.

Damn... maybe people shouldn't be crushed by giant metal machines on a daily basis

Bicyclists make up nearly 15% of annual average highway fatalities.

An easy solution if you care about public safety is to ban cyclists.

Killing is different from being killed.
