[LINK] Google’s Robot Cars Are Smoother, Safer Drivers Than You

[Jim Birch]

Every event that is remembered is recreated from disparate associations.
 People usually recreate memories in ways that reduce negative affect.  (If
you don't, you risk depression, etc.)   This includes reducing moral
threat, ie, culpability.  Once something has been misremembered a few times
it is subjectively indistinguishable from reality, unless contradicted by
reliable objective records. Sometimes, even when contradicted.
