~~I know this is going to sound bad but bear with me and read my entire post. I think in this case it might be that people are trying to hate on Tesla because it's Elon (and fair enough) rather than self-driving itself.~~ Although there's also the side of things that self-driving vehicles are already very likely safer than human-driven ones, have lower rates of accidents, etc but people expect there to be zero accidents whatsoever with self-driving which is why I think self-driving may never actually take off and become mainstream. Then again, there's the lack of accountability, people prefer being able to place the blame and liability on something concrete, like an actual human. It's possible I'm wrong but I don't think I am wrong about this.

edit: I looked further into this, and it seems I am partially wrong. It seems that Tesla is not keeping up with the average statistics in the automotive industry in terms of safety statistics, the self-driving in their vehicles seem less safe than their competitors.

You've lost this argument when you don't even know what the argument is about.

The problem isn't what is actually under because only you or people you choose would know that, the problem is it appears like it's what is actually under your clothes. What do you think people should do, say "That's not what I actually look like naked, this is what I actually look like naked" or something?

The society we are living in can be handling things incorrectly but it can absolutely have real-world damaging effects. As a collective we should worry about our society, but individuals absolutely are and should be justified in worrying about their lives being damaged by this.

How should we deal with this issue then? I'm not sure what can be done about it.

I'm shocked that people are only just now finding out that massive companies like Google are evil. Google replaced don't be evil with be evil.

You shouldn't give up your rights in exchange for nothing. In some places that's not even legal.

The point is that they have greater bargaining power than the average employee at a company, not that they aren't human. I didn't say they were better or worse than anyone.

What a wonderful future we are entering.

It's also not risk free. There are tons of YouTube videos talking about people's bad experiences with it including possible side effects, some of which are a dealbreaker for me like a mouse cursor having starbursts. No thank you, I will take my glasses over that. I'd never opt for eye surgery unless medically necessary.
