After reading the headline, I was terrified of the though of a teen behind the wheel of a self-driving car, an was going to suggest that someone needs atleast 5 years of driving experience before operating a self-driving car.
After reading the article, I see that she's in a FULLY automated vehicle, sitting in the back.
I suppose that pedestrian being killed in Arizona didn't deter the testing of this coming trend.
I also just realized that "automatic" and "manual" might refer to a vehicle's autonomy in the future, not its transmission.
That pedestrian was also hit by one of Uber's self-driving cars, which seem to be extremely far behind Waymo's in terms of safety. From this New York Times article:

Personally, the advent of computerized and self driving cars frightens me a bit. To me, transportation and communication are the soul of modern civilization. Too much control of these is going to major corporations.
