By “near you”, I’m referring to any situation wherein the self-driving car could potentially cause you physical injury, grievous harm, or death based on you being in an adjacent vehicle, being a pedestrian, being in a building or open area where the car might stray, etc.
* On the part about “as they exist today”; further safety improvements or protocols might be implemented in the future, and might also be the result of lessons learned the hard way after some more negative incidents have taken place. Research and development, trial and error, test conditions aside, my question is about the fact that some such vehicles are already operating on public roads, and anecdotal evidence shows that some glitches still haven’t been rectified, and/or are being newly discovered.~ less

If you were to take that same poll today, would your answer be the same nowadays, or would it differ from an answer you would have given then?
Who among us here has NEVER used Uber* at all? (I'm first.) ~
Some people get so angry, they changes lanes, floor it, and speed to the light, slamming on their brakes. Then I slowly cruise along side, look over and give them a smile.
I hate when people use a parking lot for their personal racetrack. I have been almost hit numerous times. One of these days I'm going to hit the side of a car and fall on the pavement.

I had no money, so I gave the driver my wallet and went to my apartment and got some. A really bad night.

I thought that technology was supposed to be so accurate. Grrrrrrr.
