Don't worry, the days of this sort of thing are numbered.

There is exactly one way it is acceptable to operate a motor vehicle: Input a destination for the computer to drive to, and release the controls. Anything less is a tragedy that hasn't happened yet.

You are putting a lot of faith in technology that doesn't exist nearly how you imagine it.

[Cushman]

I feel pretty comfortable putting my faith in experimental technology rather than average human beings.

Nothing against human beings of course, just when it comes to operating motor vehicles it ain't much to beat.

When the infrastructure becomes available, I have a hard time imagining how "self-driving" cars could possibly be any worse than humans driving cars.

[gizmo686]

Well, their is always the possibility that self driving cars could get hacked.

Although, even in that respect it would be pretty difficult to do worse than current cars. [1]
