An alert driver has about 1 second response time to react do a danger.
A ride along driver could have 5 sec..
Or somewhere in the ballpark of infinity
The computer - - - microsecs, but will it do the right move ?

The computer might swerve to miss one person and run into five...

I would think that the generally drunk driver, still conscious , would probably do a better job than the selfdriving computers that are out there , right now.

Looking at these stats from 2016, I would have thought the crash rate of self driving cars would be half or less off the national average yet the experts expected a lot more accidents...
The researchers concluded that the national crash rate of 4.2 accidents per million miles is higher than the crash rate for self-driving cars, which is 3.2 crashes per million miles. The institute describes these findings as “reversing an initial assumption” that autonomous cars would have a higher incident rate. Jan 11, 2016

I can't see this tech taking off (if you excuse the pun)
who's going to trust a computer with their life? The computer system may be flawless-
the person/s in the car maybe highly vigilant & responsible but that aint going to stop some fucker hacking the system; driving cars under articulated lorries/ into walls etc!!!
No way you'd get me & my family in one of em= now or in 20 years time!
Anyways I thought this system was in the very early stage of testing= why are uber test driving in public? Is this a real story?

does it matter= it's still computer software.....
be honest (especially if you know & understand computers/ software etc & how it all works- & sometimes doesn't)
would you REALLY trust a computer with yours & your families life!?

Sure... just look at modern airliners ..
But not the human programmer writing the software

is it really the same? if auto-pilot fails they have all the time in the world to take manual control.
driving on a busy road/ motorway & auto-drive fails??? come on, get real

I agree and it makes sense, less things to hit in the air compared to driving on a street...

i'm quite sure when auto-drive is working it'll work great= we're not talking about when it's working are we!

The only safe way is to have a human monitor in the cars with them at all times.
