I did that once. I was doing 50. Kitty darted across the road. Almost made it. Must have run over kitty’s head cause the car jumped. Almost lost control.

And I realize that handing our lives over to technology is something we do on planes, in trains,

No you don't! You hand your lives over to a Juggernaut of engineers, bureaucrats and regulators who control and entire system designed to maximize safety while transporting people. You also trust a highly trained individual who has legal responsibility to operate the technology safely. Compare that to what some wizbang eggheads thought up which has not be checked, vetted or certified by any independent body.... those are hardly fair comparisons.

I’m all for self driving cars as long as there is no special deals limiting lawsuits for victims.

Hate to say it, but cats (and squirrels) are just lurking there to run out in the road and make you flip your car avoiding them. Don’t avoid them,
even if you’re a real human being behind the wheel. They’ll replenish themselves...
