Likewise, human drivers manage to avoid accidents every single day by paying attention, reading traffic signals and reacting to a situation. Computers have to be 100% safe because self-driving cars take control away from the user. And where does the blame lie in an accident? With the owner of the vehicle, the 'operator' at the time of the accident, the 3rd party developers who were contracted by Tesla/Nissan/BMW, or the car company themselves? Getting customer service and a dealership to admit responsibility for parts failure as it is today is near impossible. It's fine for people to be be pro self-driving cars but it is wrong to dismiss any and every criticism of an emerging technology on that basis alone.
