Man, a decade ago I was so excited for self-driving cars. Now I'm just kinda keeping my fingers crossed that whichever corporation gets approved first doesn't cut too many corners. I know that statistically self-driving cars are better than humans, but I feel like "good enough" is a lot more likely than "better than human in all cases".

They are 100% going to cut corners.

Source: Boeing and the MCAS crashes/scandal, which was a FAR more mission-critical thing to cut corners on. If they’re doing it, you can be sure Ford/GM/etc will too.
