This is not a safe option, particularly on certain roadways. Accidents increase when you have a higher levels of relative speed difference between lanes of traffic. Having "turtle mode AI cars" isn't going to help us.
Speaking of the elderly.. they often end up in fatal accidents even at low speeds. Their frail bodies combined with strong safety restraints are not a good combination; particularly in the rear seats where their level of risk increases to nearly 2x the front seats.
- agumonkey 9y agoI meant reaaally slow. Think not-road-accepted slow. Golf cart speeds at 'worst'. Maybe these aren't cars. But you can still transport some stuff and people in specific places and usage. Otherwise I agree with you.
