Agreed. When I explain why autonomous cars are always going to be better than humans, I use this example:
When you drive, you only look at one thing. If you glance at the rear view mirror, you're no longer processing the front. If you look at a side view mirror, you're no longer looking at the front or back. All this is not counting blind spots. But imagine if you could see all around the car, all the time, and process all of it with the same level of importance.
That's what self-driving cars can do.
People I speak to are usually receptive to that, but there's still the lizard brain aspect, one even I'm victim to. ;)
