Maybe the sensors will break or the computer will glitch (My Android can't go a day without freezing so google better step up their game), I don't know, but something goes wrong.
Whats the plan in case that happens? I'm assuming it automatically shuts down? Now I'm stuck in the middle lane of deerfoot with cars zooming by?
The only alternative is that it tries to pull over, which is sketchy since something is already wrong with computer and I don't want it driving me anywhere or it tells the human to take over, which is also brutal as we'd all have to be ready to drive any ways....

If the rest of the cars were computer operated I'd imagine you'd be much safer. They can detect and maneuver around that obstacle much safer then a panicking human.
It'll be interesting to see how governments and legislation deal with this. Would a sole "operator" be allowed to be drunk in the car?
