Have you ever lost anybody in a traffic collision?
Thankfully no.  Where i live i see bad accidents almost daily on the way to work.  People drive way too fast and are too distracted by their technology.
Yeah, distracted driving is a huge problem. Thankfully new cars have collision avoidance systems that can prevent crashes. 
I am not sure that i trust AI with my car.  Call me old fashioned, but i like to be in control.  Having said that, i do sometimes have close calls.
I understand. People tend to always be weary of new tech. But autonomous cars are quickly becoming more of a thing. It seems like every car company is working on a self driving car now. 
I firmly believe it will be 10-20 years before they have a capable AI to drive a car.  Assist, yes.  Drive, no.
Agreed. Tesla is currently doing a great job with their enhanced autopilot. 
Tesla most likely will be bankrupt within a year.  The short sellers are going to take their toll on that company.  It only makes sense if you are ford or chevy or Nissan to short Tesla stock.
Only time will tell. Luckily Elon Musk has other avenues for revenue with his other companies like Space X and The Boring Company.
