Have you not seen how shitty people drive? Please God let this take over soon.


I get what you are saying but what makes you think automated cars would be any better?

Also think about what will happen when the automated system fails and we are stuck with people with little to no experience driving bc they are so reliant on the automation?

Because they don't get drunk, get tired, talk on the phone, etc. They pay attention 100% of the time, and can see 360 degrees at once, and they can see at night. They won't get road rage. They will also follow every rule of the road, to the letter, 100% of the time.

These would have to be so common for so long before the average person wouldn't be able to drive, that by then the system will be fail-proof. There will be so much redundancy and fallbacks that it would take an apocalyptic scenario for it to completely fail, in which case learning how to drive a car will be the least of our problems.
