No, It's just fear of technology. Many people where afraif of automobiles 130 years ago.

 

Today assistant systems like automated breaking systems, lane warning systems or even lane keeping systems are becoming standard and often more reliable than the driver.

Emergency breaking systems should be mandatory for big trucks by now. Don't know US-numbers but in Europe and especially in Germany trucks driving into a traffic jam with full speed have led to some terrible accidents within the last few years.

And how many deaths have they caused in the last 130 years?

It`s not just fear of technology, these things can and most likely will be dangerous. Sure if they`re successful then eventually they will become much safer but still by trying out any of this stuff any time soon you are definitely taking a risk.

Well musk said they are already more safer but he wantst hem to be 10 times safer.  It is a bit like doctor Watson that can predict what disease you have, and he found a rare leukemia disease that no doctor found. The catch it can still make 100 wrong predictions when he does millions of predictions and people fear it but meanwhile their are 400.000 wrong diagnose(s) by doctors in usa alone every year...

I don't fear automatisation, I fear politicians and the unions.
