Sounds like they've got YOU programmed. Hope your driverless car has one hell of a firewall.It lacks instinct. But as for reflexes, the machine can be faster and more accurate. A human will react to something in the road by swerving. The machine can do the same thing, but faster. And can make the precise adjustment needed, because it has already plotted the course around it, instead of just avoiding hitting it.
Also, a person has two eyes set in the front of our head. A machine can take input from numerous cameras and scanners at the same time (or close enough that it amounts to the same thing).
And a car that can drive itself can take a drunk home safely. That alone could potentially save tens of thousands of lives.
