How do you mean? How do you think the risks (which are expected given the very high stakes here) should change the parent's perspective?

  Like EVs, yeah great, love it. Great job by the engineers there. Good stuff. But it's the auto-driving that seems to be sub-par thus far. Though the data isn't public (mostly), it seems like the auto-driving software is worse than the average driver. Again, seems.

    Probably is really not, just people believe they are better drivers than they really are. It is a well documented Wobegon Lake effect. That said, the failure modes are really different. And technically someone Coyle design a smoke test for self driving cars that would put in some confidence into their abilities. We do that for human drivers, it is called a driving exam. Could be extended as much as we want it.

      Um, no. Uber has to intervene in their self-driving car every 13 miles, on average. And they killed a person at 1/4th the mileage of an average person. Again, it's one data point, but a cause for concern nonetheless. That's not a Keillorism, that's plain bad. I agree that the cars need certs though, each and every one.
