I never felt comfortable using my speed control much less surrendering myself to a computer. But my interest is not in self-driving cars but the legal law/ liability cases that will grow all around them resulting from accidents. finger pointing is going to go from the auto manufacturer, vendors, distributors, suppliers car owners and anyone even remotely in sight.
Recall what it cost Audi and Toyota to defend themselves against "sudden acceleration in terms of liability, defense loss of business, etc
I have been driving for over a half century and about a year ago exiting a Publix lot experienced "sudden acceleration" and for a brief second I wondered why the mechanic of my car failed until it became clear that my foot was resting on both the accelerator and brake.
My guess is that is exactly what happened with Audi Toyota drivers but when a lawsuit entails well ............So many a driver is in for the ride of his/her life with self driving vehicles literally and figuratively speaking
