This doesn't make me feel safe.
In the long-term, this makes me feel safer. On average, humans are pretty terrible drivers, and robots don't get sleepy, drunk, or distracted. I just hope that there aren't too many high-profile crashes during the transition, which could lead to societal pushback of the technology. "Autonomous vehicle kills a human" is a much more shareable headline than "Yet another human driver kills a human".
Long term, yeah. I watch videos of self-driving car rides though. Not so much today.
