    Oh, so they can’t get autonomous driving to work, thus the next step is to get people who are sleeping to steer the cars remotely

          I will totally abide by all traffic rules when playing a virtual reality driving game in my sleep. Nothing can go wrong there.

            Well, in the case of Ender’s Game, that was the point. Trick kids into thinking they were playing a game and they wouldn’t think twice about being as brutal as necessary to win. So if your goal is to have cars murder people, having people control them with their dreams is a pretty good idea.
