Hi, @hms818. My understanding is there are about 37,000 auto accident deaths in the US every year. Your larger number may be a global number. This technology could save lives both in the US and throughout the world.

I think the self-driving cars may have different accidents than human driven cars. So there is a chance that self-driving cars will kill some people that wouldn't get killed by manually driven cars. But the self-driving cars should save many lives in other situations.

I think if we look at the net improvement and the direction to less auto injuries and deaths we are looking at the right metric.
