嗯，用户让我总结一下这篇文章的内容，控制在100字以内，而且不需要用“文章内容总结”之类的开头。首先，我需要通读整篇文章，抓住主要观点。 文章主要讲的是自动驾驶汽车的安全性和优势。作者引用了Waymo的数据，显示自动驾驶在减少严重事故方面表现优异。同时，对比了人类驾驶的高死亡率和经济负担。还提到即使只有30%的车辆是自动驾驶，也能显著减少事故。 另外，文章还讨论了政治阻力和责任差异的问题。自动驾驶面临政策上的挑战，但数据支持其安全性。 总结的时候要简洁明了，涵盖主要数据和结论。确保在100字以内，同时直接描述内容。 </think> 自动驾驶汽车的安全性通过数据得到验证：Waymo在1亿英里测试中显示严重事故减少91%，人类驾驶每年导致3.9万美国人死亡及1万亿美元损失。即使30%车辆为自动驾驶，也能减少40%事故。然而，政治阻力和对人类责任差异的担忧仍需克服。 2025-12-2 12:0:0 Author: danielmiessler.com(查看原文) 阅读量:1 收藏
The arguments against autonomous cars are largely emotional, and the data is making that more clear.
December 2, 2025
Dr. Jonathan Slotkin, a neurosurgeon and co-founder of Scrub Capital, published an excellent piece in the NYT today about autonomous car safety.
[DANIEL: Opening commentary here]
The human cost
When that much energy enters a skull, no operation can turn it back.Dr. Jonathan Slotkin
[DANIEL: Comment on prevention vs. treatment]
The data
Waymo's safety performance data from 100 million driverless miles across 4 U.S. cities (through June 2025):
- 91% fewer serious-injury-or-worse crashes compared to human drivers on the same roads
- 80% fewer injury-causing crashes compared to human drivers
- 96% lower rate of injury-causing crashes at intersections
[DANIEL: React to these numbers]
The human driving baseline
- 39,000 Americans died in motor vehicle crashes last year
- 10,000 crash victims arrive at emergency rooms daily
- Crashes are the #2 leading cause of death for children and young adults
- $1 trillion+ combined annual economic and quality-of-life toll from crashes
[DANIEL: Comment on how we accept this as normal]
The adoption threshold
We do not need everyone to use self-driving cars to realize profound safety gains.Dr. Jonathan Slotkin
If 30% of cars were fully automated, could prevent approximately 40% of crashes overall.
[DANIEL: Comment on partial adoption being enough]
Why autonomous vehicles are safer
A system that follows rules, avoids distraction, sees in all directions and prevents high-speed conflicts will avert deadly collisions much more often.Dr. Jonathan Slotkin
[DANIEL: Comment on the obvious logic here]
The documented Waymo incidents
All serious incidents involving Waymo vehicles were caused by human drivers, not Waymo system failures:
- High-speed crash pushing another car into stopped Waymo vehicle
- Red-light runner hitting Waymo and other vehicles
- Motorcyclist hit by Waymo, then fatally struck by hit-and-run driver
Minor incidents:
- Vehicle looped parking lot roundabout for five minutes
- Software recall after hitting utility pole at low speed
[DANIEL: Comment on the irony of humans causing the accidents]
Political resistance
Washington, D.C.: Postponed key autonomous vehicle deployment report despite 18 months of successful testing.
Boston: City Council considering mandatory "human safety operator" requirement in every autonomous vehicle.
[DANIEL: Comment on emotional vs. data-driven policy]
The accountability difference
Autonomous vehicles must report ALL contacts causing injury or property damage over $1,000, while human drivers don't report the majority of accidents despite many involving injuries.
[DANIEL: Final thoughts on transparency and accountability]
