I wouldn't trust them. I'll never forget, one day a coworker and I were in front of our building and a girl walked by very perplexed because her GPS told her that she was at a different address. We told her, "No, that must be a block or so that way." - pointing her down the road - and she became disappointed, almost argumentative with us, "...but my GPS says this is 1234 Elm Street!" as we calmly explained that her GPS must be off, but she didn't seem to want to believe us! Lol. But not so funny is when technology crashes in important circumstances, and people no longer have their own wits to rely on because they've traded them in and become too tech dependent. If a very senior, disabled, or a blind person's car ever short circuited they'd be in huge trouble on the road!

Possibly it will be a new invention of the future after we are long laid to rest....:(..and there will be safequards in place. Nothing surprises me along the lines of progress these past  few years unless some big catastrophe like an A bomb hits us.

People short circuit. We make dumb mistakes, we react poorly or not at all, we don't signal, we are easily distracted, and we even have medical emergencies while driving.

Any computer that drives a car will have to be much better than the average human driver, and much more reliable, before any government body will accept them. And then there will be a collision involving one, and people will scream to get them off the roads. The people screaming will not be saying the same about their grandfather who can't see any more, or their son who drives like a maniac when he is out of sight of his parents.

The worst thing about an autonomous driver, will be the lack of eye contact - the loss of connection to the other driver to determine intent and order of procession at stop signs and the like. That will be awkward. But the idea of self-driving cars, if they can be done successfully, is a good one. My wife would buy one in a heartbeat. She hates driving. She's better at it now, after an extra defensive driving and skid school class she took, but she will never like driving.

I would hate it and will avoid one as long as possible. I drive a manual car because I like to be in control of the gear I'm in. No slushbox determining gear ratios for me, thanks. Never again will I own an automatic car, if I can help it. Maybe one of those new double-clutch direct-shift gearboxes with an automatic mode so my wife can drive it, but no more power-sapping torque converter for me, thanks.
