It's the same concept behind herd immunization.
Honestly, bumpy roads? Do you think Taber is more or less of a bumpy drive than this?:

Stop using space shuttle programs and aircraft as examples of why computers will work in this application. If you want that level of hardware, you and I nor the government will be able to afford to put that many cars on the road. Just look at the effort and testing involved into just one little piece. TCAS for aircraft, a method of communication between aircraft to prevent crashes, is a relatively simple device compared to what would be required for self driving cars. That still took 20 years to really get right.
