I'm certainly going to trust the judgment of the young people who are so easily hoodwinked into taking out huge school loans for liberal arts degrees.
Self driving cars sound great but many of the advantages, like smooth flow on the interstate, won't happen unless everyone has a self-driving car. Another problem - a few weeks ago, my GPS told me to turn the wrong way on a one way street. Human intervention stopped a dangerous situation.
Having concerns about self-driving cars does not mean that you are opposed to them.

On the one hand I'd love to have driverless cars for the convenience of reading, taking a nap, eating, drinking, texting, etc. while commuting.
But on the other hand it's only a matter of time before it will be abused. I can see someone in power using car automation to keep people from election polls. Or giving preference treatment to certain vehicles. Like having cars move out of your way similar to ambulances and firetrucks.
Or when an accident is about to happen the cars react to be the safest for one guy and not necessary what's safest for all.
