Yes of course. Have you seen humans drive?
On the future you probably won't be able to get insurance for a human to drive as the risk will be too high compared to a computer doing it.

We can accept a mistake from a human, even if it results in a death. We can't from a robot.

The First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
The Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
The Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
whoops.

Humans are amazing. We have amazing powers of spacial awareness, risk, threat, peril, judgement, compassion.
And you want to abdicate that to a computer, you cad.

Why would there be unmanned cars? Did cars need to drive themselves to work?

Bastard. I was just about to post this.
Asimov would probably write a trilogy of novels to explain how this incident occurred.
(Apologies if I’m being insensitive, I only read the headline.)

I would argue it‘s far from simple. But no doubt we will see.
Wonder how many people have killed other people in the workplace by accident since this happened

The concept is simple. I'm sure the technology is not, but once it's ready driverless cars will make the roads safer and journeys cheaper. It's inevitable really, and hope it's ready soon
They will only be as good as they are programmed to be.
And they will have been programmed by a human.
They're still machines, at the end of the day, and machines can, and regularly do, go wrong.
and so it begins.......
Man crushed to death by robot in South Korea
The robotic arm reportedly failed to distinguish between the man and the boxes it was handling.www.bbc.co.uk
so a fella was killed when looking at a machine that was known to be faulty, and we are surprised that the faulty machine pretty much did what we knew it would do… sounds like it’s the humans at fault here.
Wonder how many people have killed other people in the workplace by accident since this happened
Absolute failure of safe systems of work, the machine should have been isolated prior to inspection. Same people claiming this as the end of days will cite health and safety gone mad everytime someone steps in to stop them loosing an appendage.
