90% of accidents caused by human error.

Ok so what about when the robot "crashes"?

Dumbass idea IMO

Advances are already heading towards this at the moment though.

Mercedes and Volvo (to name 2) are already using predictive cruise control, and self braking on their cars.

Wonder how this early evolution of "assistance" deals with something as trivial as a plastic bag blowing in front of the car on the motorway - does it apply an emergency brake when it sences something is there.... think

What's not? Just my point.

Plus the car manufactures probbably won't stand for it, well banning driving anyway.

I'm all for assistive devices to avoid accidents, but i hate the idea of not being able to use my own free will.
