Self driving cars have already killed a number of people. The whole enterprise is a folly. AI models are not capable of making split second decisions that humans can make, and whilst it might work in some situations, it is a long, long way from being able to work in many common situations, i.e. any urban environment.
Car companies are shit at writing software, as are most semiconductor companies. Given that most of the efforts in this area are coming from those two sectors, the expectations should be low.
Self driving cars will kill a number of people. Let's just hope there isn't a knee jerk reaction that bans them while we go back to people killing people in much higher numbers
