    Cars have driven billions on miles on cruise control, but that does not mean that cruise control can autonomously drive a car. Planes fly billions of miles on autopilot and yet we keep the pilots.

Indeed these situations are in the tail of the distribution, but that tail is a really challenging place. One series of accidents, particularly in conditions which would be easy to avoid by a human, and the whole market for the self driving car will pop like soap bubble.
