What's the acceptable vehicular homicide rate? GM seems to think it's more than zero.

That's equally ridiculous to say. Self driving cars just need to be better than people to be worth it, they just currently are not better than people.

It's ridiculous to think that cars shouldn't be killing people? Well smack my ass and call me an extremist.

Are you calling for a ban on human driven cars? They killed more than zero people yesterday! If you aren't, you've accepted a human-driven vehicular homicide rate above zero.
