@davidzipper with some vital context about what AVs can, may at some point be able to, and cannot, do.

"No one should claim that self-driving cars cannot, at some point in the future, potentially reduce crashes across American roadways. But it would be equally wrong to suggest that they offer the only pathway to do so."

"Self-driving technology is only one of many tactics available to reduce crashes, and it is not at all clear that it offers the highest return on investment."
