I don't think that there is any double standard here. I think most of us who have driven in most countries have noticed that there are some truly incompetent human drivers on the road who raise risk for everyone. It's enough for self-driving cars to reduce the risk of traveling from place to place. If I must travel, why not let the machine do the driving, while I think about my work with full attention or engage in undistracted conversation with fellow passengers? You are of course entitled to travel only by means like commercial airlines or railroad lines that will not be self-driving as soon as some cars will. I think the regulators of highway traffic in each country will make reasonable trade-offs about the timing and conditions under which self-driving cars will be allowed on the roads I travel. I look forward to that day, having seen how local human drivers drive.
