I will be the last person in America to switch to autonomous cars. Being a passenger sucks, driving is fun. That and being in software QA I know better than to trust computers with anything.

That is why the Space Shuttle has 5 computers. Three of the 5 have to agree on a decision before it is done.

The only thing less reliable than computers is man.
The technology will advance to where the computer driven cars are safer than cars driven by man. You may not trust them, and I will certainly be hesitant.
But good grief, look at mans record on driving cars. Look at the billions of costs of auto accidents.
Yes I trust myself more than a computer, but I trust the computer more than I trust you.
