Did I say accidents would be made impossible?
I did not say that.. I'm just pointing out that the software must make a decision and that that decision will probably be driven by economic rational considerations that might be in contradiction to own's own personal beliefs.
I said the complete opposite in fact so don't quote your lies.

While I am quite interested in autonomous vehicles I'm not 100% convinced that the movement does not have significant negative impacts, much less dystopic side-effects.
Daimler's automobile vision developed, for example, over the last century from a utopian dream into a suburban nightmare--- an addiction that has created more death in the world than drugs (including its use to finance wars).

You replied to me with "I have little doubt that machines can drive cars better than "average" drivers but that still does not make accidents "impossible"." so you implied that I thought accidents were impossible which I clearly did not.
Economical rational considerations? Why do planes have all those life vests and waste all that time with safety briefings. You're going to die if it falls out of the sky. They could save a lot of money by not having or doing those things. It's not just about economics.
