Why do we have to accept preventable deaths of any kind?

We can start banning all sorts of things to reduce car deaths.

Lower the highest speed limit to 35mph.

Ban having a cell phone in your car, because access to it is distracting.

Ban listening to music in your car because that is distracting.

Why focus on slowing progress on the best thing for road safety - self-driving cars, while letting humans risk their lives all day and night due to their own negligence?
