Why is everyone so damn cynical about self-driving cars?

We know this is coming, and this technology will improve the lives of so many people in the long run. Maybe it's from Nvidia and Audi, maybe Tesla, Uber, Google, that dude who launched and failed and ran away to China, who knows?

I'm excited to think about what opportunities will start to open up once humans don't need to spend 2+ hrs a day with their hands on the wheel :)
