As I see it, this very notion is contrary to the way that the general
public looks at almost any activity. Driving a car is dangerous, too, but we have not seen any simulators or recurrent training requirements to address this fact. Nevertheless, the fatality rate goes down every year. It's not becuase the drivers are getting better. They're not. It's not because they're driving less or being more conservative or more restricted. They're not. The cars are getting safer. In an atmosphere of wide access and minimal regulation, it is economically feasible to improve safety through technology. All safety improvements ultimately come from improving the technology rather than changing behavior. It is the engineer's efforts that are important, not the bureaucrat's. More regulation and limitation will only limit access, narrow the market, make innovation less practical, and ultimately degrade rather than improve safety. Michael |
