Are self-driving cars a good or bad idea?

Are self-driving cars a good or bad idea?

Would you own one?

Would you trust it not to crash?

When I was younger, I had always wished we had these types of cars. I thought of all the time people would save. But now that technology IS advancing, it doesn’t seem as good now. There’s too many things that can go wrong. I rather drive myself. Then if I get in an accident, it’s human error, not computer error. Unless of course the accident was caused by a self-driving car! Then I’d be mad lol

I will not lie and point out that I am a terrible driver 😅  Self driving cars are probably in my future if I ever need to commute to work or something as I pay no attention to anything.

I dislike driving, so yes, I'd love to have one of these one day. 

Of course, I'd want the technology to be thoroughly tested first, so that I could be confident that the chances of a computer error were less than the chances of a human error.

So far, all I've heard concerning automobiles that have a capability to be on auto-pilot are the failures. I wouldn't want everyone on a system that has a high rate of failure. You can't predict what an animal will do, so how is a computer going to deal with animals on country roads?

Humanity is not ready for self driving cars. Technology nor roads are ready for this. We should be restricted to driving help features, but not self driving abilities.

I wouldn't trust enough to fall asleep or not watch the road while driving. I'd let it do its self driving thing but I'd be there ready to slam on the breaks or swerve out of the way if a situation is about to go down.

The car I have now has a pretty advanced cruise control feature. It has radar and can sense cars in front of me so when I have it turned on all I have to do is steer the car. It'll do all the breaking and accelerating on its own. I am always watching though. I don't trust it completely.

Currently it seems like a bad idea for navigating high traffic areas. Though with the work that is being done on the software end, it seems like it could have potentials if traffic is decent, and over long distances.

At the moment, I would not trust self-driving vehicles as I feel more needs to be done to make them a lot safer. Do I feel that overtime they may be reliable and safe and something we will see more of? More than likely but they have a lot to go through first before we see this happen.

Personally, I have a very serious trust issues. It's going to be very difficult for me to trust the technology behind self driving cars. I might be open to buying the car but will hardly make use of the self driving feature.
