Assuming people are ignorant en masse says more about your understanding of people than the people.

Not all self driving car accidents make the news β€” self driving car accidents that any human diver could have easily avoided make the news. Statistically safer something something miles driven means nothing to the family of someone who died in a completely avoidable accident.

Until self driving cars reach the point of handing emergency situations β€” storms, ice, obstacles, children, other accidents, sudden lane changes, tire blowouts β€” better than humans and stop punting anything less than ideal conditions back to the driver it’s pointless to talk about safety.
