Consider: trains on tracks or planes on autopilot -- you pull down the shades and fall asleep.
So what's the big deal just because it's a car?
(Other than the fact that they still have a long way to go with autonomous automobile design...)
...or watch a movie, or play on your laptop or tablet...
“So what’s the big deal just because it’s a car?”
People would be just as perturbed, I think, if you suggested their plane doesn’t need a pilot, or their train doesn’t need an engineer.
If they want to give you the airplane experience they will need to make you wait in long lines at security and get squashed on both sides by “large” people for hours at a time.
Double bonus if they add a screaming child to the sound-track!
Each different compilation contain's literally hundreds of accidents recorded from inside the victim's vehicles as they happened, and new ones are added almost daily. Just watch, it's enough to turn your hair gray and never get in a moving vehicle again, let alone a "driverless car".
Oh, one more thing; at least 50 to 60% of the recorded accidents are NOT the drivers fault. They have the misfortune of being in the exact wrong place at the wrong time, and there is absolutely nothing they can do to prevent it.
