Have you ever lost anybody in a traffic collision?
Thankfully no.  Where i live i see bad accidents almost daily on the way to work.  People drive way too fast and are too distracted by their technology.
Yeah, distracted driving is a huge problem. Thankfully new cars have collision avoidance systems that can prevent crashes. 
I am not sure that i trust AI with my car.  Call me old fashioned, but i like to be in control.  Having said that, i do sometimes have close calls.
I understand. People tend to always be weary of new tech. But autonomous cars are quickly becoming more of a thing. It seems like every car company is working on a self driving car now. 
I firmly believe it will be 10-20 years before they have a capable AI to drive a car.  Assist, yes.  Drive, no.
Tesla Autopilot
Tesla Autopilot is an advanced driver-assistance system feature offered by Tesla that has lane centering, adaptive cruise control, self-parking, the ability to automatically change lanes, and the ability to summon the car to and from a garage or parking spot. 
As an upgrade to the base Autopilot's capabilities, the company's stated intent is to offer full self-driving (FSD) at a future time, acknowledging that legal, regulatory, and technical hurdles must be overcome to achieve this goal.
. Collision avoidance features are rapidly making their way into the new vehicle fleet. In a study of police-reported crashes, automatic emergency braking was found to reduce the incidence of rear-end crashes by 39 percent. A 2012 study suggests that if all cars feature the system, it will reduce accidents by up to 27 percent and save up to 8,000 lives per year on European roads.
In the UK and in the US, third party damages and costs have decreased by 10% and 40% according to some
