Autonomous cars will have a PR problem for a long time. Even if/when they are statistically much safer than human-driven cars, and even when the novelty of an autonomous car crash is no longer a news story on its own, they will still make mistakes that no human would ever make (because they aren't human), and therefore remain in the news.
