A recent study presenting different accident scenarios found that people were less likely to blame an automated car, even when it was at fault, than a human driver at fault.

The race by automakers and technology firms to develop self - driving cars has been fueled by the belief that computers can operate a vehicle more safely than human drivers.

For starters, regulators will have to come up with a definition of «safe» — whether that means the machines must drive flawlessly or simply break fewer laws and get into fewer accidents than human drivers do.

Uber said the vehicles would have to be safer than human drivers before they would commercialize it.

Additionally, self - driving car technology will be so good that these robotic automobiles will posses driving skills that «will be indistinguishable from humans except that robot drivers will be safer and more predictable than a human driver with less than one year's driving experience.»

Sure, they may occasionally do worse than a human driver would, he concedes, and their imperfections will inevitably even kill people.

And Volvo's Coelingh notes that a study of the European version of Pilot Assist revealed that the computer maintains safer follow distances and has fewer harsh braking incidents than human drivers do.

For one, they could help cut fuel use, as they accelerate and decelerate more gently than a human driver might.

«Ultimately AVs will be far safer than human drivers, so this important work needs to continue.

Autonomous vehicles should only have to be moderately better than human drivers before being widely used in the United States, an approach that could save thousands of lives annually even before the technology is perfected, according to a new RAND Corporation report.

Since current self - driving safety assurances aren't exactly airtight, Koopman argues that self - driving cars should be held to a way higher standard than human drivers — say, 10 times safer than the average human — before they're given the green light.

Systems like frontal collision alerts, lane drifting alarms, rearview cameras, drowsiness detection, night vision enhancement, automatic braking assistance and more all come into play to anticipate and think faster than the human driver, preventing human error versus enhancing it.

In an interview with The Verge, Krafcik said the Uber crash reinforced his mission to build cars that can operate more safely than human drivers.

Self - driving cars are most likely safer than human drivers, as Wired transportation writer Alex Davies argued after the crash.

The fallout from the accident could stall the development and testing of self - driving vehicles, designed to eventually perform far better than human drivers and to sharply reduce the number of motor vehicle fatalities that occur each year.

Eventually, full autonomy will enable a Tesla to be substantially safer than a human driver.

Based on current facts, the Google car doesn't seem a lot better than human drivers 2.

Templeton argues that once auto - drive systems are proved much safer than human drivers, it may be downright immoral to let humans drive at all.

When — or if — self - driving cars are proven safer than human drivers, the vehicles will still have to contend with other questions, such as whether to take steps to protect passengers or pedestrians in a collision (SN: 12/24/16, p. 34).

He asks, «Will people accept a self - driving car that is safer than a human driver but that requires them to constantly monitor the automation in anticipation of the rare occasions when intervention will be necessary?»

We might have to wait many years for a fully autonomous electric car from GM to hit the dealerships, in part because the technology still has to mature, but also because legislation isn't ready and it's not quite clear yet how fast - or slow - regulators will move on this (if it can be convincingly shown that it saves lives and is safer than human drivers, things might go fast).

The fallout from the accident could stall the development and testing of self - driving vehicles, designed to eventually perform far better than human drivers and to sharply reduce the number of motor vehicle fatalities that occur each year.
