One of the biggest problems is the self-driving car thoughts which the programmers have a big part in. So imagine yourself on the highway in your self driving car and there is a truck that carries long poles and you are surrounded on all sides my other vehicles and all of a sudden a very heavy pole falls off of the truck. If you were driving you would just react, but a self driving car would have been programmed to think about it a certain way. So what would a self driving car do if there was a pickup truck with a high safety rating or a motorcyclist at the right and it was too late to stop. What would the self driving car hit go straight forward and probably kill you hit the pickup truck or hit the motorcyclist killing him or harming him severely. So who are the programmers programming the cars decision the companies, the government's, or a random programmer who is going to do it. Should it make your safety top on the list or to minimize lives lost in an accident.

One of the biggest problems about self driving cars is hacking because self driving cars are basically a computer on wheels an article I read about stated that 47% of cars stolen in London in 2015 were due to some kind of electronical hacking.
But now imagine what they could do to self-driving cars the results would be disastrous. The companies that are making these cars are lying about them because one of their self driving cars ran a red light on self driving mode and it is proven that even though they say these self driving cars are fairly safe and hard to hack but a Cybersecurity expert, Jonathan Petit, had confused “hacked” the self driving car with only $43 and a laser pointer. It shows how weak the Think of this like the British empire they said it would last forever but look where that
