Your dad would be happy to get a car that was 10X less safe, but the rest of us on the road will be less so.
These are public roads, driving a dangerous cars put other people at risk.
- njarboe 9y agoWhat fraction of current drivers are 10x less safe? Probably all 16-20 year olds.
- oldgradstudent 9y agoProbably around 3-4x[1], but point taken. Inexperienced drivers cannot be avoided, but many states try mitigate the risk by limiting teenage drivers. But my point is that whether to allow a vehicle that is not safer than a reasonable human driver should be not left to the car owner alone - there are other stakeholders whose interests must be taken into account.
