And yeah, the issue of the robot and the security behind it is a huge cause for concern. I think people don't entirely trust it yet because it doesn't have a sense of perception and reasoning; they go off what a person is programming it.
Blinding snow gives it a better chance than the human eye, as I said it is using LIDAR and other sensors that don't require sight to know someone is there. A human can't see behind something, but with a combination of sensors the car will have better chances to do so.
Security is a fair hesitation, but I'm not sure how much of the critical systems of the car are networked. I would assume the very little is outside of GPS, but that is satellite to car which is a much more secure connection than simple networked connections. As to the perception and reason, Adaptive AI does have a sense of reasoning. Adaptive AI is the idea that it gets information plugged into it to start but gets ran through millions of tests and is given feedback of pass and fail and over time it figures out how to correctly navigate situations through learned behavior.
....and again I come back to people are actually horrible drivers who kill 40k people in the U.S. each year. The perception that people are proficient drivers is just that only a perception, not actually a reality.
