I would argue the average human driver is actually a good driver. People argue that Tesla training their system to mimic a human driver is a bad idea because then it will replicate bad human driver behavior, but the fact is that human drivers don’t end up killing themselves or others the vast, vast majority of the time. George Hotz of Comma.ai brought up an interesting point about this on one of his Lex Fridman podcast appearances. He said from the driving data they’ve gathered, it seems that average drivers are good in the same ways, while especially bad drivers are bad in unique ways. The result is that the bad driver behavior in the data is pretty much overwhelmed and washed out by the abundance of good driver behavior in the data. Add to this the fact that self-driving systems still have things like automatic emergency braking, and I’d say you’ve got a pretty safe driver.
