This is not a controversial take, the evidence already exists.
There's a website tracking deaths associated with Teslas, including 61 autopilot fatalities. This has not deterred people from continuing to use autopilot, because using autopilot is a sensible decision. Use of autopilot reduces accidents sixfold in a trend that has been improving over time.[1] Waymo has better statistics and even better performance.[2]
These technologies are going to change the world in a huge way. I'd wager that within 10 years, every luxury car will be outfitted with Waymo sensor kits. Nobody will care how it looks. Within 20, you won't be able to buy consumer insurance for a car you drive yourself.
