    "Audi executive explained at ad:tech New York 2016 the importance of educating the consumer on these technologies to combat fear. "

    You mean the fear of:
    Hackers ?
    Insurance responsibilities ?
    Who is responsible in a injury/fatality case ?
    Government shutdown/take-over of your car ?
    Sensor failures ?
    Continuous updates to obsolete technology ?
    10 year  max lifespan of computer components ?
    who is writing the moral code for the computers ?
    driverless semi-trucks in icey condotions ?
    Loss of control of steering wheel, brake and gas pedals?
    fear of me merging on your car to get my position in your lane?

    Or is it watching the attornies line up salivating for this to happen.

    DUMBEST IDEA OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
