self-driving vehicles have existed for decades, and they are very safe.

They are trains 🚊 / trams 🚋

Trams and trains have drivers.

I can afford to have a driver if I'm splitting the cost with 400 of my closest friends.

Subways not trains/trams, which makes sense since they are in a mostly closed system. The French one is closed off and doors slide open on the dock so that passengers can board the cars. This particular system also runs on pneumatic wheels on a rail. I guess for easier accuracy with braking/acceleration?

We-ell, there have been bugs causing train collisions, but there also have been train collisions caused by machinist's error or some other misfortune, so.
