Your sentiment is absolutely correct and it doesn't have to be constrained to a week. I would say a couple more incidents over the next year or so and the public will shut this tech down. Those of us in high tech may think self driving cars are super cool and urbanists may think they will solve the worlds housing problems but to the public at large, self driving cars are a curious novelty. Once a curious novelty has the capability and propensity to kill, it becomes a public nuisance and will not be tolerated.
Eventually, autonomous vehicles will come around but in a much more measured and cautious deployment, as opposed to the VC cash fueled headlong rush we are currently experiencing.
