Once I had to take the 8th exit of a roundabout that had 5 -> I took the 8th but the right one was the 2nd... It only costed me 15 kms at 01:00 AM. I couldn't turn back right away because it put me on a high speed way.
Several day later it asked me to take the 5th exit on a roundabout that had 3. And the maps were the latest and I know for sure nobody changed anything in the roads.
Nay, I wouldn't use a car programmed by the smae ID-10Ts that deploy the shotty web applications now online. As I wouldn't drive a car developed by a company that in any moment could ask me to buy an optional upgrade if I wish to take the highways.
My freedom, even to make poor choices, is my freedom. I won't give it to a machine.

Yeah, I would!

As its already in culture there is auto-pilot mode, metro is automatic.

I'll second that - IF something goes wrong (can't be ruled out) I'd prefer to be able to take over...

I think the idea of "driver-less" cars, is just another example of mankind distancing themselves from one another. Everyday, we become less and less, sociable.
I think the title of this silly poll should have started as, "As a human..."

To put the question of the poll in other words: As a software developer, do you trust software to drive you safely and secure from A to B?
Wondering, what society criticism has to do with this plain question...

I guess your answer may reveal how well you trust the integrity of your own code...

That's impossible. See the Halting Problem[^]
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Anecdote told by a Stanford University CS Prof:
In the early days of computing, there was a chip-making company that advertised: "Our processors are so fast that they can run an infinite loop in 2.5 minutes".
Well, that was true in a sense, since in 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the chip would develop such intense heat that it would burn itself out

I have not trusted self driving cars since reading Stranger in a Strange Land and RAH points out that there will be more than just the dangers of the road. It would have to have proof against remote take-over.
