That's exactly my point.
And my point is that they will be so much better it wont even be close (especially in certain situations like the freeway).
I am picturing an interlinked system which controls all cars simultaneously within a region in a controlled environment like the freeway.
The cars would not be controlled independently, they would be managed my a master traffic control AI. An AI could merge cars on and off the freeway at 100+ mph without having to slow anyone down.
All cars would respond simultaneously and perfectly in emergency situations since all cars on the road would interconnected.
Your tire explodes unexpectedly....
The computer instantaneously (before the tire has even fully deflated) detects the problem and starts corrective emergency actions while simultaneously and instantly adjusting the speed and path of all cars around you. And all this happens faster than a human can even react to the original tire blow out.
Think of an airbag and how fast it reacts... that’s how fast all this would happen and happen simultaneously to ALL the cars in the vicinity.
