[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1166948, member: 13739"] Whilst safety concerns shouldn't be dismissed and Tesla (and other car manufacturers) need to ensure the systems are safe and secure; I still maintain that autonomous cars has the potential to save more lives than any other 'recent' technological or medical breakthrough The average driver on the road is either impatient, careless, distracted, lacking skill, lacking knowledge, agressive, or a combination of these. Add in genuine mistakes made by all and there's little surprise that ~ 36,000 people are killed in car accidents each year in the UK alone! Autonomous vehicles won't reduce that number to 0, it's important we recognise that, but they will likely reduce it significantly which will be a huge, huge win in my book. My worry is that any fatal accident involving an autonomous car will be scruitinised so heavily in the press and/or in the courts, that it may prove too big of a liability for car manufacturers to take on.
