13. Because more people would have been killed without it

Self driving cars will be far safer than human driven cars, but there will still be accidents and deaths, just fewer of them.

Almost 40,000 Americans died in traffic accidents in 2020, if self driving cars reduce that to 5,000 in another 20 years, will we say self driving technology killed 5,000 people or that it saved 35,000 people.
