I don’t think my problem is that self-driving cars are better or worse drivers, I think I have an issue with the fact that they are alpha-testing their product on streets that they may not be ready for. In the event of a collision, the car is going to drag someone around? That’s a pretty risky edge case to shrug off.

Also notable is that they are hiring for a Chief Safety Officer now.
