I don't want self driving cars.
I would rather deal with the nut behind the wheel than the nut inside the black box (or the one who designed it).
You and John Henry, that steel driving man.

You trust elevators, no?
I'd be interested in seeing a side by side test of skilled drivers without ABS vs ABS equipped and maybe not so skilled drivers. Pumping brakes at just the right rate and intensity to maximize braking while maintaining directional control is a job better suited to automation.
Google (and Toyota, Daimler etc) are really motivated to keep self driving cars safe because of the potentially devastating liabilities. Look at what a slightly bad ignition switch has done to GM. They will heavily fund and develop self drivers and delay rollout until they are really ready.

And as far as autoland goes:
Quote:The Air Force has lost many more unmanned aerial vehicles than the Army, in part because Army drones have the ability to land themselves, the Pentagon’s outgoing procurement chief said on Monday.

My bolding.
It's hard to give control to our machine overlords. But eventually we'll have to.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
