I'm not persuaded.
Bear in mind that I am a systems analyst, and a trainer and tutor of systems analysts.
Even the USN's AEGIS system is still not perfected.

All possible scenarios? Of course not, Tim. That is probably impossible. But, let me ask - should that be a requirement?
How beneficial would it be for society at large if auto accidents were reduced by say 50%, 75%, or even 25%? How many lives would be saved? Drunk driving and its foreseeable and sometimes devastating outcome becomes a thing of the past.
And with respect to AEGIS, well ... it's considerably tougher to acquire, track, and intercept an in-bound missile than identify an erratically operating or off-course auto :-)
We'll see.
This stuff is being thought about.
Self driving car researchers are already saying that cyclists pose a real problem because of their high speeds and often narrow profile and ability to hide behind/beside other larger vehicles.
And then there is this guy .....
It would be funny if not so thought provoking.

Say I know for a fact the car I am going to cut in front of is a self driver. Then I CAN mercilessly cut in front of it, Since I KNOW it will stop, not maybe stop.
When regular drivers begin to understand the entertainment value of things one can do to mess with self driving cars...
It will be fun. and carnage. and fun.
To say nothing of the entertainment value of hearing news reports of how some self driving moron got served a hefty ticket from an all human cop who nabs him getting his jollies just so.
