That humans are bad drivers is something most of us experience everyday. Of course, everyone thinks THEY are the exception. Self driving cars being better than the average driver is absolutely to be expected since they can only get better. They'll be consistent. They will always be focused, not get distracted, not get tired, have more sensors than a human could. It's not just about the environment but also about the mental state of the driver. Sure it's difficult but your using one case to flip things around doesn't seem to be a very strong argument. > Self driving cars will get there someday, but I think it's much farther away than many assume it will be. There's no evidence to support your assertion given the tests that have been going on so far. There's no evidence to support that switching back and forth would be better than having the AI all the time either.

> Of course, everyone thinks THEY are the exception. This gets brought up every so often, much to my chagrin. If you asked 10 people what qualifies a good driver, you will get 10 different answers. Does it mean they have a good safety record? Does it mean they are skilled at controlling the car? Does it mean they can navigate traffic efficiently? Does it mean they communicate with other drivers well enough to not negatively affect traffic? Does it mean they have good reactions times? What combination and weighting to you provide the above questions and what questions haven't even been asked? Of course people respond that they are above average or good drivers since everyone is using a separate metric to define a good driver.
