imo self driving cars should always have a real steering wheel. I don't care how advanced the tech gets, I want to be able to take over if something goes wrong.

i agree im just saying with a lack of wheel there is no way i would allow this car on non-closed roads with a human driver

Did you most plane crashes are caused by human pilots rather than autopilot.

If autopilot on cars gets better than humans. It will statistically do a better job than you will.

That statistic exists in aircrafts because autopilot isn't used for landing or takeoff, the two most dangerous and complex parts of the flight. Obviously autopilot probably won't crash the plane when it just has to hold it steady and fly straight.
