I don't want to be in control of the risk, I'm a bad driver. Haven't owned a car for some years. Still drive on occasion when I need to with a hire car.
I want a computer that is better at driving than I am to do it. It is easy for me to see why perfect is the enemy of good on this issue.
You don't want to share a road with me when you could share it with a Tesla FSD.
This might be irrational, but I'd rather be killed by a human than killed by a computer made by a company that's run by a gung-ho serial bullshitter. That would somehow suck worse.
I'd rather share a road with you, a human.
Even if you're a self-admitted bad driver, humans have a strong instinct of self preservation which helps.
Software has no such thing, a bug in the code will let it accelerate full throttle into a wall (or whatever) without flinching because it's not alive.

To be honest, I'd trust software even less if I was a bike rider riding in a European (or Chinese, Phillipine...) city, but that's just me :)
Cars are typically able to brake faster than motorcycles. One of the reasons why tailgating on a bike is extremely dangerous.
You need to experience truly bad roads to understand the complexity involved that you would easily navigate and software would be perplexed!
Sure, we need to be building it today to get there some day, but we are so far away!
