I agree. They'll have to accurately distinguish between toddlers walking into traffic and birds flying in front of cars. One thing I read said the human driver had to take control because of a cyclist. Obviously there's more work to do. But eventually these systems will get there. And they'll probably be able to share information with other vehicles too. So robotic vehicles will be able to see around corners. And tell each other exactly what they'll do before they start doing it. Safety could wind up being 6 sigma instead whatever is currently. And we'll actually have the ability to measure it because collecting such statistics will be more feasible. Right now, most of our screw ups don't end causing accidents and they never get recorded. And we prefer it that way! But we'll be able to do data mining on every little thing robotic cars do.
