Random aside, but not surprisingly a RAND study found the sooner we get autonomous cars on the road, the more lives we will save:

Not sure how much all of you are familiar with "autonomous" cars, but basically, they are divided up into 6 categories. Level 0, no functionality through Level 5, fully autonomous/no driver. Right now the highest level in production for the public is Level 2 (Audi/Tesla) with a tiny amount of limited Level 3 (Cadillac) sprinkled in.

The problem with going further up the ladder than Level 2 is that until you can achieve Level 5, accidents will almost certainly go UP because humans would need to intervene when the computers can't figure out what to do. And human drivers become exponentially LESS likely to be able to effectively take over when they are allowed to zone out for extended periods of time, as further autonomy hypothetically allows them to do.
