Are self-driving cars reliable?

I’m really curious about self-driving cars. I know they’re not available for the public yet, but still! I’ve been wondering, how reliable is a self-driving car?

We also think that self-driving cars are cool! Self-driving or automated cars have the potential to be reliable and very safe. Since about 94% of serious car accidents are caused by human error, the benefits of self-driving cars promise to be huge.
In addition to reliability, the other benefits of self-driving cars are:
  • Cost savings in the hundreds of billions
  • More efficient traffic flow
  • More environmentally friendly
Of course, there are some drawbacks, including:
  • Loss of employment for taxi, Uber, and other rideshare drivers
  • High initial costs of production
  • Certain moral dilemmas
  • Pushback from the public who fear automation
