Big problem if there is no driver.
Well look at the problems made during the 14 people killed last weekend - are we better or worse off with the issues of automation vs human error? On one side you have someone weaving their hand to stop and a automated car doesn't. On the other, you have someone weaving their hand to stop but the driver is texting while driving and doesn't stop either. (I realize this is a little one sided, but there are way too many human errors - due to low standards as mentioned) that at least for me, want to see eliminated. Despite being pro-tech-advancement in this thread, I'm generally more conventional in my life style (no twitter, instagram, never owned google glass or oculus or fitbit, still driving a simple Honda and not a Tesla, my wife doesn't even have a smart phone and uses a pay as you go phone!)
