I wasn't, but good point. Even if in time 80% of the drivers who really didn't want to be driving, and would rather be on Facebook, are using fully automated cars - then the roads won't be as "scary" for the rest of us. I think we can probably rely on other automated cars not to do the stupid things humans currently do.
I however have no intention of having a fully automated car. I'm a computer programmer. I'm fallible. I would never trust my life to software I wrote, let alone someone at Google who is probably 20, and has never driven a car in their life (exaggeration!). Besides, I hate being driven at the best of times.
