While we have accidents all the time with "people" in control, it appears we will not tolerate a single error in self-driving cars. Each time an accident occurs when a "self-driving" car is involved, it's national news. That's a major hurdle to overcome. YMMV
We need to hold computer driven vehicles to a higher standard, but I think the standard as it is emerging is going to be unobtainable.
I agree about the "national news" aspect. You might as well say international news.
Emotional driven news and decision making is currently at a high. In case you didn't notice, our new connectivity allows us to worry about every event that occurs in the far corners of the world. We then transfer and generalize this to our own experience, even if it doesn't make sense.
The point being that since we are in an emotion driven world where "systems" and "cultures" are blamed for all the evils that befall us, then the "system" of self driving cars will have to be pristine to succeed. It may be an impossible task.
