    I look forward to being run over by a robot and the company suing me for damaging their property.

    Remember the problem is the overpopulation of cars, not what is driving them. Switching a mediocre human driver for a top tier program driver will not result in an increase in injuries.

      Possibly true, but when you do get run over, it will be significantly harder to get your American medical treatment compensated if a company’s bot did it instead of a human.

      But in an ideal world neither the bot nor human would have been driving a car in the first place, and the vehicle the bot would be driving is on tracks that are grade separated (and have platform gates), making it almost impossible to run someone over.
