Autonomous vehicles should be allowed on the road once they are 10% better than human drivers, and waiting until they are 75% or 90% better would cause needless deaths during the interim, according to the RAND Corporation. The report also recommends that states require a driver behind an autonomous vehicle to remain in control of it at all times.
Autonomous vehicles should be allowed on the road once they are 10% better than human drivers, and waiting until they are 75% or 90% better would cause needless deaths during the interim, according to the RAND Corporation. About 90% of crashes are caused by driver error, it said.
