I can make my own for my gas powered car. And drive it where I wish to. I only trust elevators because i have to sometimes, i am a take the stairs kind of person. Can my calculator kill me by telling some equations are wrong when i can just check the equations myself if I don't trust them? Will my flash drive becoming corrupt (it happens) splatter me into a wall at 120mph or not allow me to go to certain areas? Will my comments here reach out from the screen and lock me in and fill my lungs with carbon dioxide? No, they could be manipulated however, which is why these are merely words and I rely on nothing said to be absolute fact.
Self driving cars take a risk that is too great. It removes a freedom that is too vital. My food machine example is a comparable example. Now, i can farm, hunt, or go buy what food i choose and choose when and what to eat. I drive my own food/car. You would trust a machine to make all those decisions for you.
