I agree with you about the life-saving features but disagree about the lawsuits. I don't see Google deciding to play "the needs of the many outweigh" because liability law is pretty clearly "take care of your own." So long as the product is acting as advertised to you, to your advantage, they're good. This whole "Google as omnipotent force" aspect of it is a strawman, in my opinion.

I don't think they would actually do what's described in this article. I just meant that by being the first to market with self-driving vehicles they will be the target of all the initial lawsuits regarding the tech.
