what happens when sensors go faulty? In aeroplanes they crash, look at the Air France flight from Rio where the peto tubes froze up. Driverless cars, or cars where the only occupants are allowed to be inebriated or asleep or otherwise making no contribution to the journey are equally vulnerable. And if they are scaled back so just a little human intervention is allowed removes common sense. Take, for example, a car that makes it impossible to break the legal speed limit. The temptation will be there to keep the foot down at maximum legal speed. So you are out in the lanes where it is legal to do 60mph. Come up to a sharp bend that can't be taken at 60 (of which there are plenty) and it will end in tears.
