It is more than zero. Anything that beats humans is a win. Getting to zero is unrealistic. Nothing has a zero risk of death.

Correct, that's exactly what I'm saying. Zero is the acceptable number, so anything that gets us closer to that is good.

You're shifting goal posts.

What's the acceptable vehicular homicide rate? GM seems to think it's more than zero.

Correct, that's exactly what I'm saying. Zero is the ideal number, so anything that gets us closer to that is good.

Acceptable is different than ideal.
