The main issue with coverage of self-driving vehicles is the human logic shortcoming that can't handle big numbers and ratios. We see a single story about a cyclist who had an accident and rode off with what seems likel superficial, if any, injury and can't contextualise that around 300 cyclists a year die in collisions in the US each year. Sure there's a responsibility/accountability question but we should expect some accidents where self-driving cars make errors because it isn't realistic or helpful to expect them to be perfect when what they would replace is as crap as the average human driver.
