Yet another reason why self-driving cars will be an improvement over human drivers.

Yet another irrelevant analogue being trumped up as "evidence" of something yet to happen. I'll convert once I see actual vehicles on actual roads.

I've seen actual self-driving cars on actual roads. But they are haven't hit the market yet.

What do you mean by convert? Are you unsure whether they will happen? Skeptical about whether they will improve on humans, or whether it's a good idea in the first place?

>>> I've seen actual self-driving cars on actual roads.

No you haven't. You've seen supervised cars with pilots ready to take over when needed. No manufacturer yet has dared release a truly hand-and-eyes-free vehicle onto public roads.

OK, if that's your definition, that's fine. (It differs a bit from consensus definition, of course.)

Could you answer the spirit of the questions I asked about your `conversion'? Thanks!
