Accidents from people who shouldn't have been driving in the first place. Part of the benefit of self-driving cars is not needing a qualified human, so the blind, elderly, children, drunk, etc can [still be] drive[n around].

- Jamwinner 7y agoThats why taxis and mass transit exist. If you suck at driving, please don't.

- damnyou 7y agoHmm, unemployment in the US is very low. What is happening is underemployment through gig economy jobs like Uber. You seem to be advocating for more of that.
- rhino369 7y agoThere is no reason to believe that a shitty driver with good automated accident avoidance would be worse than a self-driving car. Especially since no self-driving car is better than a shitty driver in 2019.
