alt Hacker NewsNo, because you can punish bad drivers, remove them from the driving pool, put them in jail, or in some way achieve justice (this may not always happen, but at least it's posible). There is no way for FSD to have any accountability, and so no justice can be served. "Sorry, your son was just unlucky that he was killed by the AI, but we can't do anything about it" is an intolerable breakdown of justice. Same problem we have with qualified immunity.

"Sorry, the driver could have turned on FSD, but decided to drive [drunk/tired/distracted] and killed your son. Thankfully we can ban them from driving for a while."
This could play out a million times at the population level. If you can decrease the chances of needing justice in the first place, shouldn't that be considered?
You can update software though, you can’t update a negligent driver.
What you're talking about is who to blame, not how to keep more people alive.
