If you have a 99% chance of death - 1% of people are still going to make it.

You obviously don't have a 99% chance of death - but just by virtue of it being possible does not also mean it is not BS.

You can drive drunk from PS to SF also.

What's your point?

I know a Tesla owner. The chance of death (well, a crash anyways) is more like 1%, according to him.

Those odds are good enough for the occasional trip home from a cocktail party, but hardly cost-competitive with Rideshares/Taxis.

How many 9's do we need before we can say it's reliable enough to trust it? A few more, for sure.

Yeah, 1% is definitely not going to cut it. What are the odds of dying when a human is at the wheel? Something like 0.000025% if my napkin math is right and my assumptions in the right ballpark.
