Self driving cars will never be safe. There are too many things that cant be forseen.


I've seen far too many experts produce erroneous pontifications and
failed predictions to accept such a statement at face value. At this
time, with todays available technology, there will certainly be
problems. There will probably be some regrettable incidents. However,
given sufficient time, funding, and a general tolerance of mistakes,
it will eventually work.

The comments I read about driverless vehicles sound more like fear of
the unknown, unwilling to take risks, and an addiction to the status
quo. Those are great ways to get nowhere. If you want to see
something happen, you need to take risks, learn as you go along,
ignore failures, ignore pundits, and don't allow anyone discourage
you.

I recently took on a project where I knew very little about the
technology. I knew it could be done, which was a big help, but I
needed a fast education. After a few frustrating evenings and asking
some good questions, and I'm slowly making progress. Forget about the
documentation, which is an incomprehensible English translation of the
original Chinese.
