Sorry, but that's just silly.
Plenty of people have great ideas on how to make self-driving cars, and we're seeing them come into play.
If you don't understand that computer reaction time is ludicrously faster than human reaction time, and what that means for safety, I really can't help you, though.
We all understand the benefits of computer reaction time, computer-assisted safety features are being included in cars all over the world.
But those are "stop" features, that make the car refrain from doing something harmful. The problem are the "go" features, that give a car decision power.
We tend to forget about all the lives saved by the "stop" features and focus on one life lost through a "go" feature. It may be a shortcoming of human nature but we are what we are and this is why "go" features don't have a future.
