At least this is something that can be fixed with code, while the stupidity of human drivers is forever haha

I hope we'll soon see single seat driverless cars that are about the size of velomobiles or the podbike.

PS: A while back my PC would start up in the middle of the night for shitty windows updates and wake me up. Things like that can REALLY make you cranky or angry.

Humans write code. So it's actually an extra point of failure. Humans are also built to react to every changing conditions, code can only react to conditions it was programmed for.

Driverless cars are a pipe dream, I am open to being proven wrong by the future, but I do not believe we will ever see fully autonomous cars.
