   I don't know if we are going to reach the point where a non-sentient   
   software bundle can be a better driver than a human.  Humans having   
   actual situational awareness and the near infinity of things that   
   _could_ cause a vehicle trouble makes me skeptical, at least for MANY   
   years to come.
