That happened in the US so did you know that today alone over 100 people will die from car accidents over there with thousands also being injured? Self driving vehicles already being overall safer than human drivers on average is an established fact. There are certainly issues to iron out but driving is undeniably an area where AI involvement is a massive positive so governments not being faster at allowing that is killing many more people.

Try telling that to the first responders who were delayed by that stupid AI car.

As the other two have pointed out that argument can be used against human drivers as well and a lot more effectively too considering just how many of them cause death and suffering due to their own ineptitude or complete lack of care for the safety of others. Please don't let this AI moral panic make you start being against undeniably good things like self driving cars cause not only will they save loads of lives and prevent tons of injuries they're also very beneficial for people who are unable to drive which includes a lot of disabled people. When you look at all the harm driving causes it's clear it's fucked up, it's only accepted cause of just how beneficial it is and self driving vehicles will make it a lot less fucked up.
