>you also have to have societal buy-in.

Isn't this, as all deadly decisions are, driven (pun intended) by your death rates? As more non-believers of autonomous cars are killed, the momentum of societal buy-in accelerates.

If fatality rates were higher, then maybe. But at 1.3 per 100 million miles, it seems like that would have low effect.
