But road safety has only increased in terms of accidents per km driven. There's just too many cars on the road now. I think we should push for full self driving asap though. Taking the driver out of the equation means no longer stuffing cars wth systems intended to second-guess the driver and their abilities. No more need to check for mobile phone use because the occupants are free to do what they want. No more need for speed cameras or distance between cars. More efficiency due to people not constantly overtaking because they're in a hurry. Right now it's becoming this insane situation where a driver is not trusted at all and second-guessed at every corner. I don't own a car anymore and I hope I will never need one again. I don't want to drive like this, constantly being looked over my shoulder. It's not worth that hassle.

  Yes but you no longer have the burden of control and responsibility. That's a huge difference. Personally I hate driving so I'd be really happy if I could just read a book, surf the web or watch a movie while travelling. For me driving is pure wasted time. I know some people actually enjoy driving :) But for me it feels this way.

    > Yes but you no longer have the burden of control and responsibility. Sounds like slavery with extra marketing.
