The real revolution for self driving cars will be what it does to deaths in the 18-35 demographic. A quick Google search turns up this (https://www.verywell.com/top-causes-of-death-for-ages-15-24-2223960 https://www.verywell.com/top-causes-of-death-for-ages-15-24-...) article that confirms that for the 15-24 demographic automobile accidents are the leading cause of death. Think of how many productive person-years we'll gain if self driving cars are even just 10% safer than driving yourself (and by all measures I've seen, they're way safer than that)! Edit: To understand the real impact, I've always enjoyed this hypothetical future conversation... Future Kid: You mean to say that people used to operate machinery weighing several tons? Traveling at high speeds? With a minimum of training? Future Adult: Yup. Future Kid: And nobody died? Future Adult: Oh no! People died all the time!
