True, humans DO make mistakes, but who makes MORE mistakes MORE quickly, a human (slow) or a computer (very fast)?
In general, I trust a computer over a human, but computers are programmed by nerds, and I trust nerds more than stupid people!

Except regarding fashion advice!

This looks interesting: 48% of L.A. Crashes Are Hit-and-Runs - Alexander Abad-Santos - The Atlantic Wire

According to data collected by the state, some 4,000 hit-and-run crashes a year inside L.A. city limits, [...] resulted in injury and/or death.
They said the nationwide average is eleven percent.

Humans do not necessarily develop the Three Laws of Robots and some people may not value the lives of others or feel remorse for what they have done, but in theory, a computer error could kill people.

There are all kinds of crazy drivers out there and honestly, I get bored driving. I would like to see something developed that does not drunk-text and drive.
