One of the most common accidents with "self driving" thus far has been the auto getting rear ended.

Yes, this is undoubtedly the human drivers fault for following too closely but ... is it being precipitated by unexpected AI braking? In any case, the AI has demonstrated very limited ability to avoid these sort of collisions.

I wonder why there aren't more devices to give you an insurance discount for following to close. Or just to make an unsilencable beep if you try.

In any case, some of those cases were probably due to lack of rear sensors, or lack of any sensors at all besides cameras, and lack of any deterministic code able to override the AI.
