Yet even with all those fatalities, and other accidents in general, the autonomous systems still have fewer incidents per mile driven.
These cars were banned from CA roads because they had too many safety issues. That’s why they’re in AZ. One company didn’t address the issue so the CA DMV threatened to pull their registration completely.
