So, I am kind of curious what the plan is for self-driving ride operators for getting around people who don't have driver's licenses? How is a person who can't operate a vehicle supposed to take over the controls?

Also - the whole chain reaction of an autonomous car reacting to a jaywalker or a deer, group of ducks crossing the street, passed-out guy laying on the road. Obviously the car would want to avoid the jaywalker, but are you going to slam on the brakes for a deer or some ducks and potentially cause a more devastating accident?
