Driverless car pulled over for crossing into oncoming lane in construction area

Stereotyping like that, yeah, that's the definition of racism.
No, it’s the definition of stereotyping Lagos drivers. Racism is assuming they’re all black, which is what you’re doing.

But nice way to avoid discussing the point- that the data clearly shows these cars are safer than human drivers.

Please look up the definitions of two words, "stereotyping" and "racism." There really isn't enough data yet on driverless cars, as there just haven't been enough of them on the road.
 
But in no case has there been an instance of the majority of cars on the road being driverless.That could be a dystopian nightmar
I would imagine it would be much, much better, as the primary cause of crashes involving driverless vehicles are bad/unpredictable human drivers.

No drunk driverless vehicles. No speeding. No blowing red lights.

No human element. No quick thinking in an emergency. Blade Runner needs to remain fiction.
 
Who is punished when computers make mistakes? Generally the company is held accountable unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Though I would've liked to see the look on the cop's face when he realized there was no one driving the car. You are correct about who would be held accountable -- unless it's a private vehicle that has a human being in there to correct its errors. Then it's on the (human) driver.
