I'm against war, because of the waste of human life and potential. I'm against self driving cars because of the needless deaths they cause. Nobody has proven they are anywhere near as safe as an alert and attentive driver in the places where they need to be, where other humans are outside of cars.
Do they know to look for little footsteps under the cars along side the road? Do they notice something moving, then predict when it's about to come out from behind an obstacle and possibly into the path of the car? Of course not.
They just follow the training set, which doesn't represent the corner cases anywhere near enough to make them well learned.
It's possible that all this will get sorted, but we're not there yet. Once it actually is better at driving than most of us, I'll happily share the road with it.
