Instincts are strange. I have been (happily) surprised by myself on multiple occasions by how I've reacted to near-impact situations. Do I think that means cars can't do it? Absolutely not. I do think that it will take a lot of learning to get the same out of them. On the other hand, do I also think that replacing every car on the road with a self-driving one right now would result in fewer accidents and fatalities? Yes. If it were illegal to drive and all vehicles were required to be autonomous, I 100% believe that would drop the danger of motor vehicles significantly. Where it gets weird is the concept of fault. Right now, because most motor vehicle accidents are driver error, humans screwing up almost serves as an insurance policy for manufacturers. If fewer people die, but more of them die as a result of manufacturers' software... Yeah I don't know. The future is going to be weird.
