content: That's mostly just fear of technology. Think about how people felt about cars when horses were used for literally 100% of land based transport.  On horses if you fall off for some reason you're usually not going to end up with much more than scrapes and bruises. Now think about these newfangled "horseless carriages" going breakneck speeds like 20-30MPH. You crash there and you're going to go flying to your death if not ending up impaled within the cage itself. And they're supposed to run on these similarly newfangled "combustion engines"? What happens when one of these engines has a flaw, and that combustion isn't contained and suddenly your whole car explodes? Of course there's a bit of truth to the concerns, but in the end the question is whether the benefits of technology outweigh the cons. In the transition from horses to "horseless carriages" the answer was clearly yes. And once again in the transition from human controlled mechanical vehicles to computer controlled autonomous vehicles, the answer is almost certainly once again a very clear yes.
