Will AI Reduce Crashes More Than Seat Belts?

In this episode, we stress-test a headline claim: that AI will reduce crashes more than the seat belt. We examine where advanced driver-assistance systems still fall short—poor speed-limit readings, nagging monitoring, and inconsistent lane logic—and explain why even great software faces slow adoption in a 250 million-vehicle fleet. Add regulatory gray areas, cybersecurity risks, and the need for a consistent human in the loop, and bold predictions look premature. AI can absolutely augment safer driving, but we separate measurable gains from marketing gloss and explain what it will take to earn trust on real roads.
