In 100 years, we'll look back at news reports about self-driving vehicles gone astray and the ensuing skepticism and find it rather adorable. Think back to old newspaper clippings about the first automobiles, back when people weren't used to them, and the infrastructure for them didn't really exist. They were unreliable, unsafe and people frequently got into dangerous situations with them. It's going to be the same way with self-driving vehicles. The tech will mature. Just give it time.
