I think the point here is not that the self driving software is already beter than humans but rather that the upside of cars driving themselves is so big that it is worth pursuing until we get it right.

You can pursue that goal without simultaneously pursuing hype.

  I agree completely with that statement. My fear is that irrational reporting and FUD on behalf of those with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo as long as possible will set back automation by a significant number of years. Some hype is useful, to be sure, but it is a delicate balance with avoiding a situation where the pace of innovation has been oversold.
