Human programmers are even worse we make 15-50 bugs per 1000 lines of code. Also don't forget that while each of us is somewhat unique in terms of driving, the cars are not, so a bug in a car's software can amplify issues even further. There are issues also how cars will behave when they will have to interact with other self driving cars. Those problems are already difficult when writing distributed applications and with cars we don't have luxury of just letting things crash together until things improve.

Only when that's deemed acceptable. http://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff http://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff > But how much work the software does is not what makes it remarkable. What makes it remarkable is how well the software works. This software never crashes. It never needs to be re-booted. This software is bug-free. It is perfect, as perfect as human beings have achieved. Consider these stats : the last three versions of the program — each 420,000 lines long-had just one error each. The last 11 versions of this software had a total of 17 errors. Commercial programs of equivalent complexity would have 5,000 errors.
