Just because this technology MAY[1] save lives in the future doesn't mean you can sacrifice others for greater good.
This is also the reason why we don't allow for experimenting on humans in the medical field.
[1] This is something that while I am fan of Tesla I'm still convinced Google is doing this properly i.e. build autonomous system from the scratch. What Tesla offers is an autonomous system that is good enough to make driver confident about it and pay less attention (e.g. watching Harry Potter movie while driving), but not fool proof that it would prevent accidents that regular driver could easily avoid.
Not the above poster, but no, I don't. One thing I'm NOT seeing in the articles (for- and against-) on vehicle automation is a cavalier attitude. (What I _have_ seen is a lot of "who do we sue" arguments that haven't worried about total human misery/safety, but we'll ignore that for the purposes of this argument and only consider those who HAVE considered human safety)
