So many comments here are in the form of &quot;People won&#x27;t trust autonomous vehicles.&quot; Well I&#x27;m people, and I trust them. And it&#x27;s for one simple reason: Whatever bugs they have can be fixed for <i>every</i> autonomous car on the road at the same time. That just can&#x27;t be said for human beings. Every one of us has to learn how to idle icy roads, fog and other hazards individually, with wildly varying results. A computer program does it once, and is constantly getting feedback from the millions of cars on the road all the time.<p>Sure, people want someone to blame for accidents. And people might not like the idea of cars without drivers, or worry about contrived &quot;Does the car kill the driver or the pedestrian&quot; situations. But at the end of the day, statistics is overwhelmingly on the side of driverless cars. Saying &quot;Yes, but people aren&#x27;t reasonable enough to see that&quot; isn&#x27;t helpful. The question is, how quickly can we get people to do what&#x27;s best after the technology has been perfected?
