I thought that self driving tech was a Tesla thing. Then I was playing around with the smart cruise control thing in my Kia e-Niro EV and I discovered to my astonishment that it can drive itself. When in cruise control, not only does the car control its speed/brakes and the distance to the car in front, but it also controls the steering wheel and steers the car automatically around bends.

It's an eerie experience, and not one I much like, I can tell you. Self driving is a bit like voice recognition typing: 99% percent effectiveness is mightily impressive for a few seconds, but the 1% matters.

At, say, 20,000 km/year, what is the acceptable failure rate?

Er, zero!
