It's good that there's starting to be more focus on whether partially autonomous vehicles are actually safer, but what about other aspects?
We have social networks now that have "terms of service" and who are kicking out people they disagree with. Is it too far out there to suppose that an autonomous vehicle will come with similar "terms of service"? What if the vehicle refuses to drive you to a competitor's store? Or to a political rally that the car company doesn't like? Or to a gun store? Or to a religious gathering?
Since most drivers control and own their cars, these are not concerns today, but they likely will be. It seems like these are bigger decisions to hash out than whether a car is merely safe. It doesn't matter if the car is safe, if it safely takes away your freedoms.
