I agree with Mr. Trump in this specific case.
I work with developers that have the greatest of intentions, but they are human and bugs happen. Bugs provide a means for malicious people to do bad things that "should not be possible". Bugs can also be intentional given the right price and with software, they can target specific people or categories of people.
I appreciate the theory that computers will make less mistakes than humans overall. I also appreciate the reality that things will happen that should be impossible and the safety numbers could get destroyed in 30 seconds by an angst filled kid that found a script on github to take over cars. Shortly after the Sony hack, I was discussing this with a member of the Obama administration and the conclusion we came to was that self driving cars probably need regulation that is somewhere between current regulation and medical devices.
I am not in any way saying anyone here should not use self driving cars. I am just going to distance myself from them until things get a bit battle hardened.
