Autonomous cars need to be significantly better than humans to be fully accepted especially when an accident does happen. Hence limiting yourself to only cameras is futile.
Surely as soon as they're safer than humans they should be deployed as fast as possible to save some of the 3000 people who are killed by human drivers every day
Of course they should be, but that's not what will happen. Humans are not rational, so self-driving cars must be significantly safer than human drivers to avoid as much political pushback as possible.
