   Tesla claims (and I take the claim with a LOT of salt) that the   
   cybercabs in Austin are having incidents at 1/10 to 1/8 the rate of   
   human driven cars. Again, I'd like to see some independent   
   confirmation.   
      
   Once automated driving systems are demonstrably safer than human   
   drivers, the insurance companies will drive adoption by charging   
   higher premiums if you insist on driving manually.
