Human-free robo-cars on Washington streets after governor said the software is 'foolproof'

Wrong word?

Foolproof was probably not the word that most describes the sentiment he wanted to put across.

If you read the quote, he was trying to say that an automated car doesn't drive drunk, on drugs, on the phone, tired, distracted by dogs/cats/kids/significant others etc. or without due care and attention. all of which are 'foolish' things for a human driver to do.
