People's attitudes to safety are rarely rational. And then there's the big problem of liability. Do you program self-driving cars to minimize harm to the driver, or total harm to everybody? What happens the first time a self-driving car slams into a concrete barrier to avoid killing pedestrians, and kills the driver instead? Or kills a pedestrian to avoid harm to the driver? Lawyers are going to have a field day with this stuff.
