Why are PARASITE #trial #lawyers BLOCKING #robot #cars? I give you one guess. “Roughly 37,000–40,000 Americans die in auto accidents every year. We now have large‑scale, real‑world evidence—from #Waymo and a joint analysis with Swiss Re— that DRIVERLESS operations can be substantially SAFER than human driving. The latest data show that over 220 MILLION miles driven, Waymo vehicles–in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta– **have 94% fewer serious injuries, 82% fewer air bag deployments, and 93% fewer pedestrian injuries** **The trial lawyers earn a HUGE $amount litigating ordinary auto accidents**. Annual U.S. auto insurance payouts (liability + PIP/MedPay) are on the order of $180–220 BILLION.” One doesn’t want to be too cynical, but it is striking that the BIGGEST OBSTACLE to widespread adoption of safer cars **is the industry that profits when people get injured or killed in car accidents** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/4657295/trial-lawyers-blocking-robot-cars-safety-autonomous-vehicles/
