The thing about machine learning is that it can fail very suddenly, in a very unhuman way.
So even if self driving works most of the time, it takes a lot of work to address weird edge cases even the most inebriated human would not mess up, that other drivers/pedestrians would not anticipate.

Nah, it's failure mode is to slow down and pull over. It would be amazing if drunk humans did the same.
Or randomly and suddenly change lanes or brake, or both, and you’d better be ready for that every second of your drive.
Or, you know, happily run you right into a tractor trailor or highway divider.
