Waymo to customers: “Completely driverless Waymo cars are on the way”
I have very mixed feelings about autonomous cars. One side of me is so excited about the prospect and finds it all amazing and futuristic. I love reading about how Tesla and Waymo approach it differently.<p>The other side of me is absolutely not ready to trust my life to a machine - even though I know I do that all the time in other ways in modern life.<p>I think it will be people's emotional evaluation that will matter more than anything else and it will be a bumpy road to acceptance.<p>Driverless cara will probably be safer statistically but they’ll simultaneously make errors a human wouldn’t, so some people are going to die in what will seem like really dumb ways. This will be hard to accept even though that already happens with human drivers. Probably because their mistakes will be easier to identify with and explain.
