[QUOTE="Leonard D Neubache, post: 1179215, member: 11069"] My issue as inferred in my critique of the article is that if society is programmed (no pun intended) to view these matters with statistical apathy then corporations will make some extremely Machiavellian determinations on where profits trump lives. The more attention and concern these issues get the more pressure will be exerted for them to reduce deaths to as close to zero as possible. If the response is "autonomous cars kill 3% less people per mile so, meh, it's a win" then there will be no motivation for corporations to do better. [/QUOTE]
