Sure they've got to a certain point, but to make it main stream and acceptable as a form of transportation for all, they're far, far away from that point.

Also RIP to the victim here. Obviously a tragedy whether or not the car is to blame.
If we were smart we'd use autonomous trains first... then boats... then busses... then cabs. Instead, it appears as though we are jumping right to the most difficult medium! People do seem to understand the concerns when autonomous aircraft becomes part of the discussion.
