> Would you still want one if the data showed it was more dangerous than driving yourself around? We don't yet know if it will be

While we might not know yet whether self-driving cars are /already/ safer than human drivers, it is virtually impossible that they won't become much safer very quick. Simply because bugs in software can (and will) be fixed, each car gets an update, and the accident in question won't happen again, ever. Humans, on the other hand, cannot be updated easily, if at all.

This is pure supposition, and not supported by any evidence. We've been fixing bugs in software for decades but we are still finding serious bugs all the time.
