I'm excited about autonomous self-driving cars because I believe they have the potential to improve safety. I'm terrified by the tesla auto pilot features. We can repeat until the cows come home, that the driver should be vigilant at all times, but that just not how humans behave. I don't want to live in a world where drivers inattention is masked by the mostly working automations, because I think that is safety net negative.

I want to live in a world where driving in the /routine/ areas is 100% automated, so that I don't have to worry about slowdowns, gawker-blocks, and merging insanity. It won't /really/ get there until every car that's allowed on to the freeway is self-driving... actually it probably won't get there for a long time. Maybe the left 2-3 lanes (leaving at least the right-most lane open for 'slower and not-networked' traffic) should be automated and speed unlimited. Yes, the last point there is a crucial selling point for passengers. Buy the car / upgrade your car to go in the FAST lanes.
