People point at statements like "it just needs to drive better than the average driver" and "well lots of idiots drive".
On the flip side, lots of intelligent people with other skills do not have the confidence & comfort to drive outside of their towns local roads, or at all.
There are problem sets for ML like quant trading or phone album image tagging where you just need to be right 51% of the time to make money / be novel & useful.
We've seen plenty of examples showing ML is not appropriate for life&death problems like being the primary reviewer of diagnostic imaging for cancer screening.
The bar for ML to drive a car is much much higher, and I'm not even sure we have the right sensor suites feeding into the models, not to mention the compute capacity to operate at low enough latency.
