On edit: I see the self-drivers every now and then on 280; I give them a wide berth and pass ASAP.

(15,909 posts)For all of the problems we know these systems have, and even knowing that some dangerous failures have been suppressed or falsely attributed to human driver failure, the safety level must already be fairly reasonable or a whole lot more horror stories would be coming to light.
I'd guess that the safety level of these systems isn't better than humans yet (which should be the goal), but that it's not far worse.

(22,856 posts)If this technology takes hold and is perfected, with a long record of reliability and safety, substantiated by voluminous real-world data, then I would ride in a driverless car.
I am sure this day will come, but in the meantime, I'll get along without it.

(69,345 posts)I need to see a long record of success with a high fraction of all the vehicles being driverless.

In a few years? Probably, but I need to see a few million more miles of safe usage.

(36,321 posts)...sufficient hours of safe operation in actual, working deployment. They might already have, for all I know. It's like flying. Would you strap yourself into a thin cylinder that cruises at 30,000 feet with no visible means of holding it up? Millions do, because on balance flight has proven safe. Not 100% safe, but safe enough to make the odds favorable.
I think self driving cars will achieve similar favorable odds in time, and when I think they're safe enough I'm sure I'll enjoy riding in them.
