Are self-driving vehicles a good idea?

Self-driving cars. Uber. Autonomous operations. Is it really a good idea? Quite the interesting stuff we've seen come out these past few years. Cars that are driving themselves with humans on the road - Uber Technologies being the biggest producer. Think of a world where all of the cars, taxis, etc drive themselves. Does that sound good to you?
We have two sides of the story:
Self-driving vehicles are our future and are shaping our ever evolving technological society. The ease of having self-driving cars would greatly improve the lives of our people. Self-driving cars will and are perfectly safe. Loads of time go into developing these vehicles to follow specific commands based on our human input. Accidents caused by the car will not happen.
OR:
Self-driving vehicles are a danger in a time where we have very stupid drivers. Regardless of whether or not the vehicles are safe and up to standard as created by highly strategic/problem-solving scientists, there's a multitude of confusion when it comes to lawsuits if someone is hurt. Is the car liable? Or is it the vehicle's occupants? We can't afford to suffer through the mess. Just as well, no robot can make a life-saving decision like a human can in a time of danger.
You might be able to tell where I stand on the issue based on what I have typed. Let me know what you think, and debate!
