But if the self driving isn't in control 100% of the time and requires the driver to take over when it gets tricky you can be almost certain that the driver will not be paying attention when it happens and will have forgotten what to do/how to handle a car.

I'd love to remove human drivers but it needs to be level 5 or it is worse IMHO.

The big unknown is where we will be with ancillary tech in the future when attitudes and infrastructure have changed enough to support widespread autonomous vehicles. Things like "round the corner cameras", one of a fair few emergent techs, which clearly have the potential to do things that humans cannot.

Its quite hard to look 10 or 15 years into the tech future, but I totally get your point of view though. Its an issue that needs to be solved.

ancillary tec

This is a really good point. What if all driverless cars are networked? What if you have an AI machine plugged into that and all the cameras? There are so many other variables.

The difficulties of driverless cars is predominantly a commercial one imo*.

I'd also add that most of this is a problem foe insurance, more than people. If I crash into someone it's not me who covers the damages even if I'm at fault.
