I disagree. Auto driving systems like Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot are very sophisticated and accurate. The key in accuracy is having multiple simultaneous scanning technologies, and importantly learning from errors, and constantly evolving the design and software to offer better performance. I for one would totally trust Tesla's autopilot in my daily commute.

Unfortunately the press has blasted the few autopilot accidents across the news and internet, so that people have a inaccurate idea that it is unsafe. It is interesting to me that the press never mentions the 3,000 similar accidents that have occurred across the country in the same time frame as the couple over-publicized Tesla auto pilot accidents. No system is perfect, but these automated driving systems can constantly monitor 360 degrees around the car, every second, 24/7. Most of us have seen accidents caused by distracted (read texting/talking), drunk, impatient, bored/tired drivers. The good news is that most of the major automakers are working on auto-driving capability today. And as the systems improve, and the benefits are proven over time, I believe that auto driving systems will be mandated over the next 10 years for all new cars, just as ABS and traction control are now.
