Comments above highlight one thing about self driving that humans don’t like, and that’s the issue of blame.
If something goes wrong who can we blame for i, and more importantly who gets punished.
People aren’t happy with a computer in charge because you can’t punish a computer.
a driver in the case of the trolley problem could be tried in court to see if what they did warranted punishment, where as with a computer driver you can analyse all the data but families don’t get their “”justice” as you can’t send a computer to jail or fine it as it doesn’t understand ‘punishment’
What people really don’t like is when other people can’t be held accountable, it could be 10 time - 100 times safer to have self driving cars but people would still feel happier with a person in charge. Even though people make the stupidest mistakes
