Driverless cars are a risky unproven technology, and done wrong could easily kill people.

It'd be like taking "FDA approves new drug for human testing" and making the headline "FDA to allow human use of new untested drug."

Both are technically true, but the latter makes it sound like a widespread thing being done regardless of poorly understood risks. And that's misleading, since it's being done in very limited scope to help us understand and reduce those risks.




It is true that driverless cars are a risky unproven technology, while human-driven cars are a proven killer.
