Yeah, for sure. Like I said, I get the difference. But ultimately we are talking about injury prevention. If automated cars prevented one less death per mile than human drivers, we would think they are terrible. Even though they saved one life.

And even if they only caused one death per year we’d hear about it and we might still think they are terrible.
