In aggregate, humans have a lot of failure modes when driving, but it's also difficult to compare aggregate data with specific AI failure modes.

I have been driving for almost two decades with 0 accidents. I'm not saying I can't have a lapse of judgement or do something stupid going forward, but I certainly won't mis-class an object, nor kill myself over it.

I hypothetically want bad drivers to be replaced by AI because it's likely already better. But replacing everyone with AI (at the current generation of AI, which isn't the first, nor the last) will undoubtedly lead to tons of avoidable deaths, and I'm not keen on drawing a lottery ticket for it.

I'm more interested in replacing _other_ drivers, more than myself. Really if we could replace the bottom 10% of drivers with AI, even at the level we have today, I imagine that would be a net improvement. But that isn't really a feasible program. As for future, improved AI, I would trade my own driving for the more efficient and safer system.

That's really the move, having another class of driver license that lets you manually drive. Anyone can get an in ai self-driving car, but if you want to manually drive you have to pass a difficult skills test to prove you could outperform the ai.
