The problem is, it's not a level playing field. 100 incidents of a person ploughing into a bus queue and killing a child, each is news for a day, everyone accepts the tragedy and moves on. A self-driving car does it once though, and the mob will be at the factory gates with torches and pitchforks.

That's an interesting problem. I wonder what social discussions need to take to reach acceptance for "AI assisted driving". Mandatory AI breaking to prevent driving into a bus queue?

I'm also curious how to find the people who do object vs theory-crafting all possible concerns people could have.
