Autonomous Vehicles: "Zero Human Intervention Is Still Several Years Away."

Forbes - Tech 

Under the watchful eyes of the public and lawmakers, several traditional automakers and tech companies have been racing to the finish line of "fully autonomous driving." Companies are already testing their cars in real-world conditions on public streets, and to date, some have driven millions of miles. Though opinions vary, it is hypothesized that we will be safer in autonomous vehicles (AKA self-driving cars). And while we would really need significantly more data to determine this as a statistic, I can imagine the experience of riding in full autopilot will be somewhat like flying: though much scarier than driving (for most), you are still safer, statistically-speaking. Regardless, it will be some time before the majority of average consumers have replaced their conventional vehicles.
