I was being sarcastic.
Perhaps in the future I'll have enough trust in autonomous digital systems (and their designers) to close my eyes and walk across a street while high-speed traffic seamlessly weaves around me, but the sum of my experiences to date don't give me confidence that these sorts of systems wont occasionally fail in extremely catastrophic ways.
At least when I cross in front of a human driver I can ensure that they're looking me in the eye while they run me over.

Most drivers probably wouldn't notice they ran you over unless it showed up in the stream they were watching on their phone while "driving". I think you'll be surprised at how quickly you get use to self driving cars. They're technologically completely amazing, but about as exciting as an elevator in operation.
