And on that same day, and each day before or since, nearly 100 human drivers killed people, 4k human drivers injured people, and nearly 10k human drivers damaged property. And I bet every one of those human drivers felt today would not be a day they wreck their car.

I’m not saying autopilot is perfect, but honestly it gives me hope that we’re still reporting each single accident it causes, because we couldn’t possibly report the ~15k accidents a day, every day, humans cause.
