It's more like humans can think, why should we trust a computer with a task where unforeseen circumstances can arise?

Further, if I got the current state correctly, no self-driving car system so far works in rainy conditions.

We already trust computers to operate all vehicles to some extent. Almost all vehicles sold today have large amount of software controlling them.

This is not rain. This is a drizzle on a very well maintained, center divided freeway, where the radar and ultrasonic sensor has a very nice reference (divider). Also with cars tracked in front. Example of (non-autonomous) driving in a real rain here for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3xKT98a3og

Because there was almost no rain in the beginning I jumped forward a bit and directly hit a point where the autosteer shuts off (a bit before the 10 minute mark)
