"Currently traffic accidents account for over 30,000 fatalities a year in the U.S. alone. As driverless car technology matures, expert estimates have them at 90% safer than their human controlled counterpart. Unless, like me, you're driving while Asian, then it should be closer to 97% safer. The fact is human error accounts for the overwhelming majority of traffic accidents and autonomous driving technology is not limited by our physical shortcomings."

Highly flawed argument. Uber for instance, they have to have human intervention every few miles. Another is that if you are taught how to drive by someone knowledgeable you are taught to drive defensively. You can't assume that if someone has a turn signal on they intend to turn. You can't assume you have the right of way (even if legally you do).. I could go on and on and on. One way driverless vehicles will change your life in the future: they will lobby you make it virtually impossible (maybe even illegal) for humans to drive on their own. None of which is a good thing if you value freedom.
