Driving a cab 72 hours a week for years and no accident since I was 24, now 50, i am VERY confient i am a better driver than these “self driving” cars.
Shouting doesn’t make what you said not an abject lie. The point of these cars is that they don’t get tired, drunk, distracted, or angry, and are faster to react than humans. Slowing down for every pedestrian would make them a road hazard and is a terribly stupid idea.

Almost all professional drivers would be in that category and most non-professional drivers as well. I’ve driven hundreds of thousands of miles with only very minimal bumps, all due to extreme weather conditions.
