I think you missed the point of the post entirely. You talk about technological problems, which, while formidable, are not insurmountable. Surely they are hard but at least we have a direction of attack (as opposed to say teleportation or time travel or AGI, where we don't even know where to start). Just as in the case of Go, the performance of artificial systems will at first be borderline acceptable, then it will be on par with strong amateurs, and then it will surpass performance levels of the best of humans. The post in contrast talks about social problems and shows how they will cause much strife and friction and will delay the adoption of driverless vehicles even after all technological problems are solved.
