You put way too much faith in the human species. We need to have things done for us otherwise they don't get done or they get done terribly.
And I think people that trust these self driving cars are putting too much faith in technology. I'm far more comfortable paying attention to the road and controlling my car on my own than I would be trusting some sensors.

Do you disconnect your ABS?

So...did the system fail or did the owner think the car just came with it and GTA'd a bunch of pedestrians?
From the sounds of it the guy driving the car thought he had a pedestrian detection feature in his car. He thought that the car would detect the people in front and the system would take over and stop the car.
According to Volvo, that particular car did not have the pedestrian detection system installed. It costs an extra $3000.
I check my fuel level every trip with a string in the gas tank.
I don't trust this terminator/matrix nonsense where a computer tells me the level. It doesn't know!
Yea, a system that tells you how much fuel you have is absolutely the same as technology that makes drivers think they don't have to pay as much attention to the road.
"I don't need to pay attention to the road anymore, I won't be able to hit anything because my car has collision detection!"
