I heard it was about 37,000 killed but that could be wrong. Either way, I have to agree with you that the driverless cars will be enormously more safe. They don't get drunk. They won't get distracted by talking with another person. They won't try to "hot dog" it to impress someone nearby. We need to first, study thoroughly what went wrong in this case, and then implement plans so something like it won't happen in the future.

Thank you for your comment, @hms818.
