Autonomous self driving cars.. The 2010's version of the 1950's 'flying car' ?

Reading about self driving car accidents..
Anyway, MO the 'self driving car' is in the same league as 'flying cars'.
Back in the 1950's, all the talk about flying cars.. and where are they?
I think self driving cars are the new flying cars.

A lot of money is being spent, mainly due to no one wanting to be left out if they do succeed.
But I think they are doomed. (unless they really do come up with an AI capable of human levels of interaction)
Self driving cars will always be too damn stupid to work well.

I personally think the real self driving car 'killer' will be the lawsuits against the big pockets of the companies.
One of the most lucrative aspects of accident lawyers is being able to sue somebody with actual money. So ordinary owners? nah. But the parent companies? Hell yes!. So IMO the thing which will bury self driving cars are lawsuits from accidents over who is at fault.
Certainly the people who make the Ai responsible for driving the car!
