i do not feel perfectly safe or fine with humans driving. i hate driving in the area i live because no matter how much i pay attention, it is simply an unsafe environment with the amount of cars, scooters, bicyclists, and pedestrians within the given infrastructure. however, my ability to predict both good and bad behavior in these environments helps a lot. there is no way i see automated vehicles handling city driving in dense urban areas any time soon. of course safety is important. and i agree that verifying driving ability is well behind where it should be. elderly and inexperienced and inattentive and just plain bad drivers are major problems on the roads. and fault certainly does matter. aside from legal responsibility, we are emotional beings. there is a difference between getting hit by a drunk driver versus a true accident. that affects people in real ways. as a motorcycle driver, i will be terrified of these automated vehicles. i am already terrified of human drivers, but i can often predict their idiocracy. no one wants to be killed by a machine, especially one built by wide-eyed engineers.
