Your insurance company will beg to differ.

Seriously. The driving force behind vehicle automation will be insurance premiums.

As for your misplaced confidence in your abilities: Not being involved in any crashes does not make you a "good" driver. The rules of the road mean that someone has to be pretty spectacularly _bad_ to get into a crash and there are plenty of bad drivers who cause other people to crash but get away scot-free.
