This is what gets me. A big part driving safety is defensive, ie monitoring the other drivers around you. It's relatively easy to pick out distracted, erratic or risk-taking drivers from a handful of simple queues. Very much not the case with software driven autopilot routines from an increasing number of vendors. So accidents may go down where humans are at fault, but I find it more unsettling overall, as I have less control to take acceptable safety precautions.

Yes, defensive driving is the norm because we humans are fallible. If all the cars on the road were self-driven, then it would be a different story.

Assuming self driving cars will be infallible.
