I liked that we didnt crash.
For SCUBA diving you always go with a buddy...no need to out-swim the shark; just your buddy.
In this instance, the computer control only needs to outperform a human driver.
And human drivers are not all that good.
But a human driver means that somebody is ultimately held responsible for the accident and damages. Who is responsible when the automated system fails, or has to make a choice? Ford Motor Company? You and I know that ain't happening. And the insurance industry isn't willingly going to get our of the auto insurance business just because technology and common sense reasoning says that they are no longer necessary.
Plus when technology 'fails' it fails spectacularly.
