reason to never buy a self-driving car. I
especially have to have a little "chuckle" at how the advocates for
self-driving cars talk about "worldwide fatalities" being over 1
million and how the self-driving car will be the "ultimate
solution", even though in the most car-crazy country on earth (the
US), the number of fatalities has plummeted while the number of
miles driven has skyrocketed -- all WITHOUT any self-driving cars
on the road. https://en.wikipedia...ths_per_VMT.png
The_Chieftain: I think the really big value of self-driving vehicles is
that it gives back mobility to folks who cannot drive. Be it due to
issues like blindness, or simply folks who are too old to be behind
the wheel, and are in effect confined to their home unless they get
taxis everywhere (or put into a nursing home). When I'm 95 years
old, I'd rather half the self-driving car than no car at all.
