I can envision this being ok for urban use, such as taxis, shuttles, and busses, but not so great for personal use for everyone. For example, I want to be able to drive my car across the lawn to load/unload stuff. What bothers me most about this tech is we have a pretty long history of auto manufacturers knowing about problems involving safety issues that they evaluate with a cost/benefit methodology as opposed to a safety first and always approach. The Ford Pinto [1] is a good example of that. I still trust me more than an autonomous machine but I do look forward to a day when I don't.
