And you'd be wrong about that - in the US the trials showed the only prangs were stupid humans driving into the Googlebots cars... Probably more out of surprise to see no driver.
The trials have run long enough to prove quite clearly the bots are much safer drivers statistically; the numbers are against the doubters.
But some things do worry me, like apps deciding to plot a route to Tasmania that involves driving under Bass strait, or a route in the blue mountains that takes the car over a cliff...
