I approached this with a few main arguments:
1. Skeptics seeing one article about an autonomous vehicle or feature failure and using it to argue something along the lines of "lol see this is ridiculous" is dangerous, stupid, and short sited
2. There are huge benefits to autonomous driving
3. There are already verifiable safety improvements when using driverless features. As such, if you're trying to persuade people away from thinking this technology is worth pursuing and worth pursing quickly, you're really doing harm.
4. Seems like people want the bar for adoption to be set at "it must never crash or cause a crash in any circumstance, ever". This is silly as we could make the roads safer with earlier adoption
