On self driving cars, human error and the double standard we do not talk about

We already trust our lives to strangers every time we get in a car. Every other driver on the road is one bad decision away from killing you, and we accepted that before we even thought about it. So what exactly is it about a self-driving algorithm that we can't stomach?

In this episode, Thomas and Henning work through the real question behind the headlines: not whether self-driving cars can drive, but whether we'll ever trust them to. They look at what the cars are genuinely good at, where they fall apart, and why a car that is 20% safer than a human might still not be good enough.

Then there's the part nobody really wants to answer: who decides what the algorithm runs over when it has to choose?
