https://lemmy.world/comment/14080710 this comment expresses well why I am skeptical. Additionally as I said in my edit, property damage isn't the full story with these. They stop in the middle of roads causing traffic jams, and they have kept up people parking in a parking lot honking at all hours of the night. They're disruptive.

Most disruptive technologies have some early teething problems. This seems like a minor issue compared to the increased safety.
