The statistic doesn’t solve the main issue, but they are necessary to discuss the question. I like statistic because its not about believe. If we have those statistics, we will be more prepare to discuss those questions, without data I can only debate the subject by believe and not rationally.
Let’s say we compute the data and we found out that autopilot (that I personally hate btw) are more safe because human can get tired, distracted, emotionally disturbed, drunk, in drugs …..
I will be more able to discuss the issue that maybe is not authorizing/forbidding autopilot on itself,
but if you will drive and you don’t feel you can do it, but you still want/need to go somewhere with you car, please do it on autopilot.
