Default Self-driving cars ii

Anyone read the Dec/Jan Road&Track article "Man vs. Machine"? Pretty interesting piece pitting an Audi-prepared self-driving car against an Indycar driver (J.R. Hildebrand) on the Sonoma Infinion Raceway.

The cars are equally-equipped Audi RS7's, and they take full-speed comparison laps, man vs. machine. Riveting.

I'm not going to spoil the outcome. But, here's a thought from the article:

"A computer may be a safer driver than a human, bit if it glitches at 100mph, doe it have the capacity to experience terror?"
