Other people have given very good answers as to why this technological problem was so difficult to solve, but I’m surprised to see nobody pointing out that we have solved it. Self-driving cars are here, ready, and better than human drivers.

The reason they aren’t taking off is largely political– that doesn’t mean wrong or bad, just that they aren’t rooted in the technology anymore. As soon as we want to, we can.
