Would Sweden have been better off keeping left-side driving?

I don’t trust “self-driving cars” of any make or model. Anything I can’t control means something that someone else could, never mind a bot gone awry.

I do not see how this is going to work. While Google’s cars have driven hundreds of thousands of miles even through high pedestrian areas there is one place they cannot go. They cannot handle snow. It destroys the landmarks the system uses for navigation. The Google cars can keep track of pedestrians and even dogs but snow really does a job on the system.
