    It’s ridiculous to think that cars shouldn’t be killing people? Well smack my ass and call me an extremist.

      Yes, it’s ridiculous to say that if self driving cars kill fewer people than human driven cars but still more than zero that we should not use them. That’s like saying “why use seatbelts, they’re not 100% effective.”

          That’s the implications of the logic you’re using.

            I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with logic but it’s not complicated. Zero people should be killed by cars, therefore anything that gets us closer to that ideal number is a good thing.

              I think we have different meanings of the word “should”.

      Are you calling for a ban on human driven cars? They killed more than zero people yesterday! If you aren’t, you’ve accepted a human-driven vehicular homicide rate above zero.
