I don't see how they can say self-driving cars overall will save lives, if you have to pay attention all the time to take over driving from part time in an emergency....Why not pay attention full time like you should in the first place and just drive the friggin' car?...
More lives will be lost to cater to the desire for laziness and self-indulgence provided by autonomous cars and their hi-tech lackeys...

That is the big confusion today. No car "sold" to the public today...Tesla, Audi, Cadillac, etc. is a "Self driving" car. They are driver assistance systems there for when you want them to be. Not when you do not want them to be. Do they save lives? YES! Just like Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise, etc. does. They can and have corrected when drivers did not. This statistic has been proven over and over with assistance systems.
Those who view these assistance system as self-driving and get lazy....those are the statistics you are reading about. I put over 9500 miles on a "Super Cruise" Demo. was not sure if I would really "want" it. Heck my Camaro is a manual as I like to drive. However, I learned when driving from A to B down an interstate I really became accustomed to letting the car do most of the work for me. Traffic was a lot less stressful as well. Just something you have to experience and not something you can learn to truly enjoy the first time you are in one and not accustomed to it.
A true "Self Driving" car sold to the public is a long way off in my opinion. Think about it, the manufacturer of said vehicle would be taking on the responsibility of the passengers safety.
