if there was a god, then humans would be to him as lab rats to humans - except with more power and a greater degree of control.

If humans starve, torture, maim, infect, lobotomise, test bioweapons on the lab rats that they have near-godlike power over; then why expect elsewise from their god.

did you ever watch humans playing grand theft auto?

this is basically the start point and at relatively close scales will work pretty well.

this can also be expressed as a 2 in 10 (20%) bulk discount.

you can add on adjustments if you can estimate other factors like the admin cost (of your time) per transaction, a defect rate cost or spoilage, cost of storage and transportation and so on.
These overheads can sometimes be shared across other products, especially transport and storage.

for longer term stuff you might want to translate this into an equivalent annual (or longer ) cost per year/day of consumption that covers expected consumption with your safety margin.

if you need to account for every element of you cost base to the nearest penny then it can get pretty complicated - but if you're prepared to make simplifying assumptions like:
"It doesn't spoil over time",
"I already have some unused space",
"i don't need insurance on storage.",
"i'm going to ignore any adjustments lower than 0.001 cents per unit (a materiality threshold)"

Whether those assumptions are a good idea or not, depends upon the wider context.

ai ain't going to be much "worse" or "better" than humans.

but re earlier points I don't think things should be judged on a timescale of a few years.
relevant timescales are more like generation(s) to me.

I guess they didn't kill a "person" it was a "cyclist"
Probably considered assisted suicide.

imagine the horror of being

annoyed at a slow driver

that sounds like the real crime here
