>This is comparing the mean driverless incident rate to the mean human driver incident rate. This is disingenuous, since a small minority of human drivers cause the vast majority of incidents, thereby severely inflating the mean human incident rate.

Why is this disingenuous? Unless you're also for advocating for banning those top 10% of drivers from driving, you can't just cherry pick only the good drivers.



Banning those drivers does make sense, though. Repeat offenders (speeding, dangerous driving, etc) should just have their license revoked, right?

Yes maybe they should be at least suspended from driving for some period of time. The problem that won't happen because we don't catch them all.
