There is a federal investigation on several crashes that happened while vehicles were in self driving mode. Read an article from the person who was most instrumental in developing the software for self driving and he shared that it is not fool proof. The American Motorcycle Association is lobbying very heavily to have the self driving systems NOT be beta tested on public roads. It has been proven in independent tests that these systems do not see motorcycles or pedestrians. Yes they may find a location using GPS but they may do so in a unsafe way. In the article one woman repeatedly had these test vehicles park in front of her house or get "lost" in her driveway. Just think what happens if there is a technology "glitch" with the GPS network.
