I'm pretty sick of all the self-driving car hype of the last few years. Based on what I know of it, I simply do not believe that the technology is anywhere close to giving us self-driving cars that can handle real road conditions as well as the average human driver. And even if the tech gets there, there will be psychological and legal issues that would probably take many years to resolve. For example, for many people there is a psychological difference between the thought of getting killed by another human driver's mistake, on the one hand, and by a poorly designed algorithm, on the other.
Am I just out of touch with the field's progress lately? Or am I right that there's a massive amount of unjustified hype in the field?

You are mostly right but you forget to account for the general stupidity on the consumer market. Our society is not making philosophical questions before adopting any new tech, wahtever people touch they put in their mouth just like babes

This seems to be an unfortunate inevitability. Just one more reason for morons to not put the fucking phone down for two seconds so they actually pay attention to what they're doing on the road.

The long game here is to declare that driving kills. Then ban it. Its a leftwing agenda to dismantle autonomy and independence.

I work in a lab that develops the navigation and environment response systems for several large unmanned boats and optionally manned vehicles. The technology is far past the point of being more than adequate. Their slow adaptation comes from a lack of acceptance from consumers and an inadequate amount of real world test data. It'll take time but its slowly coming along. Companies have advertised features such as automatic parking, automated lane switch protection, and automatic brakes as automation entrypoints for the average consumer. As time passes these features will steadily grow.

It's true. No matter what a retard like you shills about it.
There is a war against private property and freedom.

I'm guessing you missed the news that self-driving cars have already been deployed? Like, actually driving around public riders? With no accidents?
