What are you proposing? If someone is overweight with high blood pressure and a higher risk for a heart attack we should take away their license?
These drivers are vetted and their usage is monitored, many are employees. In the long run automated driving will save many more lives than it takes. Just like automated elevators.

This does not seem like an important nit to pick, so I'm wondering why you're picking it. The number of people killed or injured because a driver had a heart attack at the wheel is vanishingly small compared to drunk or distracted driving. So let's reframe your question as you should have asked it: "If someone is driving drunk or distracted we should take away their license?" Yes. Absolutely.
- fastball 5y agoClearly it's not that simple, otherwise we'd have done it already.
- Uehreka 5y agoWe… already have? Drunk driving is grounds for license suspension, heavy fines and jail time in (I’m pretty sure) every US state. We may still have drunk drivers, but it seems odd to suggest that we aren’t doing anything about it. Cops, judges and juries take it super seriously. If you get caught drunk driving in America: Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200.
