It will take a while, as I said, because people won't trust it. then you need sometime for humans to see it as normal, and comprehend than a computer is better than them at driving, and is safer for them if they don't drive.

It will, but how many accidents per minute are there by drivers in the world? And we don’t say, puff I don’t trust drivers. Somehow we accept dying by human errors better than by a computer, somehow I always hear, look the computer failed , like if you in that situation as human wouldn’t have done it. I don’t know, I embrace the future , if compouters tomorrow are able to code and My job as a engenieer becomes obsolete, welcome.
