The problem with today's driverless car technology is the drivers

A Tesla Model S that was cruising at highway speeds rammed into the back of a parked fire truck on a freeway in Culver City, CA in late January. The man behind the wheel claimed his car was running on Tesla's TSLA, 1.70% enhanced autopilot system. But shouldn't he still have seen, and stopped for, the red engine up ahead? The crash highlights a tension in the race toward self-driving car technology. When cars start doing the work, drivers overestimate the capabilities of their cars and disengage entirely.
