I see you're not familiar with the trend of autonomous vehicles hitting pedestrians and parked cars. ~~They've been completely banned~~ They were suspended from San Francisco after many, many incidents. So far their track is inferior to humans (see Tesla Autopilot, Waymo, and Cruise), so you don't need to worry about perfect.

As someone who was literally just in San Fran, the driverless cars are not only a thing, but they're booked out days in advance so idk where you're getting your info from

I was in 2 of them in Phoenix. June 18th/19th est time. Took one home from the bar, and one to go pick up the rental car from the bar to drop off at the air port.
