> would you still welcome self-driving cars had this incident been caused by a malfunctioning self-driving car as apposed to a reckless driver Absolutely yes. Because if a malfunctioning self-driving car will cause an accident, this will be treated as a bug and fixed. Updates will be rolled out to every self-driving car, making it very unlikely the same accident will ever happen again. Issues with human drivers, on the other hand, cannot be easily fixed with an update. Human drivers repeat the same "malfunctions" again and again (like driving too fast, driving while being drunk, not paying enough attention to the situation, ...).
