Human: Are self driving cars safe?

Assistant: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that the “nation’s self-driving vehicle testing program is helping to make our roads safer by providing greater safety for both the vehicles on the road and the people in them.” This is important because some vehicles have safety features like automatic emergency braking, while others have collision warning and/or automated lane departure features, but they also rely on a human driver. Self-driving vehicles eliminate human error from vehicle operation. Automated vehicle technology is gaining ground in the auto industry and improving safety on our highways. Additionally, automated vehicles may help reduce road traffic collisions, because they are better at observing and reacting to the road ahead, and can also help reduce the number of human-caused crashes by making our roads safer for everyone.

Assistant: Self-driving cars are currently offered on a limited basis, mostly in pilot programs.  Over the next several years, vehicle makers expect to roll them out more widely.
