Please allow me to clarify my meaning on the part about whether you’re in one or it’s near you. 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.

See? Those things should not be unleashed on our streets and roads and highways.
:(
Technically, that’s good. It means you trust the contracts more! I’ll be right over with a freshly-printed copy and a vat of massage oil! (I’m so happy, folks.)

It’s the thought that counts.
(You don’t object if the actress who’s portraying you in my mind-movie is a bit different than you in some ways, do you?)
