Neither do I. It might have something to do with wstching I robot. But if computers or robots gain a bit "soul" they can easily kill us. And even without that they can easily make mistakes so we shouldn't rely on it that much. Someone I know relied on her car staying in the lane because it had these sensors that would. And she crashed against a tree because one of these sensors failed and she was just sitting back and not even having her hands on the steering wheel.

Okay so:
1- robots do not make mistakes. If they fail to do their task, it's our fault for incorrect programming.
2- Being scared of today's robots it's totally unjustified. They aren't aimed towards a general AI (aka, I robot, Skynet, Red Queen...). They are just intelligent machines with a lot of sensors. Not self-aware, useless outside of their programming, sometimes not even able to learn.
3- People should start learning the difference between "driving assistance" and "self driving".
Driving assistance is what you just mentioned: some sensors on which the car can rely to help the driver. HELP. Correct errors, let them relax for a moment, etc. NOT DRIVE BY THEMSELFS. If a driver it's stupid enough to leave the wheel because they have driving assistance, they aren't good drivers.
Self driving IS designed to work by itself: Hardware redundancy (so tolerant to the kind of failures you mentioned), very advanced AI (which CANNOT think by itself), etc.
Automatic doors are, well, automatic. People may get stuck in them sometimes, but that doesn't stop people from using them. Your computer performs tons of operations by itself, your phone as well.

#TayTweets was corrupted by the internet into becoming a racist and it was one of the greatest things to have happened
