Suggesting that we&#x27;ll see them in mass market in less than five years strikes me as insane. Marketing bull, even. Currently today, self-driving cars are still far worse drivers than humans, and companies developing them have been misleading people to build the hype.<p>Google likes to brag about how it&#x27;s cars have driven 1,000,000 miles without causing an accident. But they&#x27;ve neglected to brag about what they had to report to the California DMV: That among their 30-some-odd cars, there would&#x27;ve been 10 at-fault accidents in 2015 alone without human drivers intervening. Google took the telemetry from those incidents and simulated the behavior if the car had been allowed to operate unimpeded.<p>One out of three cars being at-fault in an accident in a year? That&#x27;s an AWFUL safety record, and far worse than the human average. If the Google self-driving software was a licensed driver, it would&#x27;ve had it&#x27;s license revoked<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;9to5google.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;12&#x2F;googles-self-driving-car-caused-10-accidents-test-drivers-control&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;9to5google.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;12&#x2F;googles-self-driving-car-ca...</a>
