Damn, lots of strawman rage in the responses. Remember that I'm still gripping the controls and looking out the window. I don't allow the system into any kind of corner case unless I am the only one on the road. Letting the computer attempt to drive straight on the highway while a practiced and skeptical driver is ready to take over does not feel like a blatant compromise of public safety. Every incident I've encountered was very easy to handle, with lots of margin for reaction. Hopefully everyone practices this kind of regard for others while still allowing emerging technology to have a path for safe testing in the real world.
