This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
Remember that the bar for self driving cars isn’t perfect driving, it’s better-than-human driving, and humans are generally pretty bad at driving, so that bar isn’t as high as you probably hope it is.
I’m not suggesting they’ve reached that bar, only that “sometimes a mistake happens that results in death” is also a problem with human driving, but we know that self driving cars don’t get drunk or distracted by their phones, so they’ve already got a leg up on the competition.
