Nogmaals: wat gaat een driverless doen met iemand die voor zijn neus het zebrapad oversteekt? Gewoon remmen (en omverrijden) of ontwijken (op het voetpad) (tegen de gevelmuur)
Ik ontwijk remmend. Op het voetpad als er geen voetgangers zijn. Tegen de gevelmuur als er wel zijn.
Er zijn zo talloze split second beslissingen, ik noemde al een paar andere.

Een driverless car zal zich altijd aan de wegcode houden, integendeel tot...
Een driverless car heeft geen menseliijke reactieseconde en zal veel eerder stilstaan... maw eno2 remt te laat...
Enz... lange lijst ... men verwacht minstens 95% minder ongevalrisico. Ik ga ermee stoppen, even uit wiki:
Potential advantages[edit]
Among the anticipated benefits of automated cars is the potential reduction in traffic collisions (and resulting deaths and injuries and costs), caused by human-driver errors, such as delayed reaction time, tailgating, rubbernecking, and other forms of distracted or aggressive driving.[12][17][18][51] Consulting firm McKinsey & Company estimated that widespread use of autonomous vehicles could "eliminate 90% of all auto accidents in the United States, prevent up to US$190 billion in damages and health-costs annually and save thousands of lives."[52]
If a human driver isn't required, automated cars could also reduce labor costs;[53][54] relieve travelers from driving and navigation chores, thereby replacing behind-the-wheel commuting hours with more time for leisure or work;[12][51] and also would lift constraints on occupant ability to drive, distracted and texting while driving, intoxicated, prone to seizures, or otherwise impaired.[55][56][14] For the young, the elderly, people with disabilities, and low-income citizens, autonomous cars could provide enhance mobility.[57][58][59]
Additional advantages could include higher speed limits;[60] smoother rides;[61] and increased roadway capacity; and minimized traffic congestion, due to decreased need for safety gaps and higher speeds.[62][63] Currently, maximum controlled-access highway throughput or capacity according to the U.S. Highway Capacity Manual is about 2,200 passenger vehicles per hour per lane, with about 5% of the available road space is taken up by cars. According to a study by researchers at Columbia University, autonomous cars could increase capacity by 273% (~8,200 cars per hour per lane). The study also estimated that with 100% connected vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle communication, capacity could reach 12,000 passenger vehicles per hour (up 445% from 2,200 pc/hr per lane) traveling safely at 120 km/h (75 mph) with a following gap of about 6 m (20 ft) of each other. Currently, at highway speeds drivers keep between 40 to 50 m (130 to 160 ft) away from the car in front. These increases in highway capacity could have a significant impact in traffic congestion, particularly in urban areas, and even effectively end highway congestion in some places.[64]
There would also be an improved ability to manage traffic flow,[13] combined with less need for traffic police, vehicle insurance;[53] or even road signage, since automated cars could receive necessary communication electronically (although roadway signage may still be needed for any human drivers on the road).[65][66][67] Reduced traffic congestion and the improvements in traffic flow due to widespread use of autonomous cars will also translate into better fuel efficiency.[59][68][69]
Widespread adoption of autonomous cars could reduce the needs of road and parking space in urban areas, freeing scarce land for other uses such as parks, public spaces, retail outlets, housing, and other social uses. Some academics think it could also contribute, along with automated mass transit, to make dense cities much more efficient and livable.[59][70][71][72]
The vehicles' increased awareness could reduce car theft,[16] while the removal of the steering wheel—along with the remaining driver interface and the requirement for any occupant to assume a forward-facing position—would give the interior of the cabin greater ergonomic flexibility. Large vehicles, such as motorhomes, would attain appreciably enhanced ease of use.[73]
When used for carsharing, the total number of cars is reduced.[74] Furthermore, new business models (such as mobility as a service) can develop, which aim to be cheaper than car ownership by removing the cost of the driver.[75] Finally, the robotic car could drive unoccupied to wherever it is required, such as to pick up passengers or to go in for maintenance (eliminating redundant passengers).[63][76][77]
