google recently apologized for having been responsible for several crashes of thier auto-mobiles.
computers crash too. and they don’t even NEED to be drunk or distracted.
most accidents occur within a few miles form home. How many automated highways...could their ever be in your or my Niegborhoods?
Not ready for prime time!
There isn't a 'zero crash' option, the issue is at what point they are less dangerous than human operators.

They do, and in my IT experience the human operators are more often at fault.
The last three accidents I've dealt with have been humans not paying attention. My wife was run into while stopped at a light because a driver was speeding and not paying attention and came around a corner to stopped traffic. She was also rear ended by a driver that hit the gas on a green light (not arrow) when she was yielding to traffic. I had a guy put his car in reverse while stopped at a three way intersection - how the hell is that even an option?!? I want all those clowns replaced with robots ASAP.

I don't think you're very familiar with these. They're reading the painted lines on the roads combined with traffic maps and sensors. My 6 mile commute is from my house to my office is the type of run they're quite capable of making now. They've had their cars from neighborhoods in San Francisco out to Tahoe.
