Making a human go to prison for wiping out a family of 4 isn't going to bring back the family of 4. So you're just using deterrence to hopefully make drivers more cautious.
Yet, year after year.. humans cause more deaths by negligence than tools can cause by failing.
The question is definitely "How much safer are they compared to human drivers"
It's also much easier to prove that the system has those issues fixed compared to training a human hoping that their critical faculties are intact. Rigorous Software testing and mechanical testing are within legislative reach and can be made strict requirements.
Well it's like this: a thief keeps knocking on people's doors and says that their locks are not theft proof.. and insists that it has always been so as the thief is also the locksmith.
Hence the layoffs i guess. They just wouldn't want to let a layoff go to waste so they jammed in a terribly greedy unpopular decision to monetize like they did. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Basically we need a game which doesn't break the fouth wall when it comes to areas and instead the player figures out in-game what an area is from NPCs, Enemies or descriptions in papers or books. That's one part that is easier to implement.
The interesting bit is blurring lines between town, dungeon, and outside. I think The Witcher series; even though it announces the places and the bounderies are more sharp, kind of allows danger to seep in to the safe parts too.
I don't agree with your argument.
