> But if you look at this video and compare the amount of stuff the camera catches AND processes, with the things you are seeing & processing, it's really hard for me to see me being better at it than a computer.

I wonder if the fear has more to do with it simply being different. The set of things that a CV system misses is likely quite different from the set of things that a human misses. A CV system is likely to make mistakes that a human would never make, and even if those mistakes are far fewer in number, they make it look bad to humans.

We've all seen electronic devices do this. When an Amazon Echo interprets the sound of a tea kettle as its wake word, we're left with no explanation, and no way to rationalize it other than to assume the device is, in some way, bad at its job. Surely a human would never make this mistake, we think, and so therefore the device must be dumber than a human at word detection. And yet, there surely exists a class of noises that a human would mistake for a word that an Echo would not - but that doesn't factor in.

Anyway, this means that a CV-controlled car would behave, compared to a human, strangely. When one's intuition about the car's behavior, tuned from years of experience both driving and observing cars, differs from the car's actual behavior, it becomes harder to make predictions about how the car will behave, and from here comes a fear and a sense of uneasiness. And when it makes a rare mistake that a human would never make, because it's perceptual system is entirely different, we assume its dumber than a human all-together.
