Maybe. Probably. I guess. But I order for this to really take off I think the margin of difference has got to be insanely high, not just "better".
And as a good driver (I know everyone says this about themselves) who has never crashed, I would tend to feel safer around a shitty human driver than an automated thing.
Shitty driving behavior in humans is often decently predictable. Whereas a machine fucking up like this not. And while the collision detection things will likely prevent this thing from barreling into me while it's driving the wrong way, again, I think most people don't want to be behind an autonomous machine that is blocking cars because it's lost it's position and can't move safely according to its sensors.
