Here's another reason, you may have seen it already. There are going to be a non-trivial number of corner cases that will fake out autonomous vehicle situational awareness. This one is a false lane departure alert, triggered by a combination of shadows and repaving artifacts. The actual lane marker is the yellow line in the lane barrier's shadow. If the car were autonomous, would it have reacted in error? http://imgur.com/a/KnsXU http://imgur.com/a/KnsXU Basically, fewer people will die in accidents as a result of autonomous driving. I do believe that. But it will be a different set of people than would have died without it. That will take a lot of legal wrangling to work through.
