I'll just leave this here. A Tesla model S, a couple of weeks ago outside Dallas. A lane-shift comes up, the autopilot doesn't see it and slams into the bright yellow barrier. Airbags deployed, a lot of smoke, car comes to a total stop. The insurance company wrote it off. This is another case of autopilot missing a really obvious obstruction or change of circumstance. Not only did it not alert the driver (who should have been paying attention anyway) but it did absolutely nothing to avoid the barrier. Never slowed down, never steered.
But tell me again how accidents will become a thing of the past with drone cars ....
The exploded left-front wheel, left-side damage and all the detonated airbags:
The full sad, sorry story is over at Reddit for everyone to enjoy:
