    There’s no such thing as a “self-driving car”. Developers are just barely able to get into Level 4 automation, and I still doubt the safety of all of the edge cases it’s going to encounter.

        A human understands that a big ass wide truck is not a skyline. A human understands the nuances of complicated intersections with road signs describing the situation.

        Reliance on subpar “self-driving” systems has caused MORE accidents, not less. This whole argument that computers are better at driving cars on roads with other humans is flat out wrong. It will be someday, but there are far too many edge cases and even somewhat common cases to consider before we get there. Road configurations are far far too complicated in dense urban areas, and there are unusual ones in sparse rural areas.
