The problem with drivers everywhere is that they are human and humans make mistakes. The sooner we get to automated driving, the sooner we will have safer roads. Automated cars will have accidents as well, but at slower speeds and far, far fewer.
FYI, every time you are entering a website and before you can do so you have to pick out bridges, stoplights, crosswalks, etc… it is because you are helping to program software for automated driving. You are teaching the computer how to identify the things it will most likely face on the road.
Just think about how nice it will be to be able to text, watch TV, sleep, even drink in your car while the car drives you to work, the gym, home.
And for those “driving” enthusiasts, just head out to the track and you can self-drive all you want.
