A very small survey of people of different ages suggests that there are age and gender differences in the acceptance of riding in automated cars. In summary, 2,600 people in the US replied and of them 38% of the men and just 16% of women would be happy to ride in an automated vehicle. About a quarter of respondents said they would feel safe in a driverless car while around two thirds said they would not travel unless there was a driver. No mention was made about their opinions of sharing the road with these massive projectiles when driving themselves in traditional cars.

I would trust written by the lowest of the low short-term contract Java web applet programer to control vehicles over the typical human I see on the road.
The fact that it will pay attention to it's sensors and not poke around on a phone half the time will, taken by itself, save numerous lives. Imagine. Imagine what it would be like to be on the road with vehicles that "know" how to drive in the first rain and snow of the season. Imagine the bliss of it.
The typical human's vast, limitless, over-confidence in their abilities is truly marvelous.
