Why do we need to do anything to solve a problem being created by a solution to a non-existent problem, rather than just removing the self driving cars themselves. I’m still not convinced that self driving cars are something we as a society on the whole need. Maybe in 100 years, but definitely not now and they definitely should not be rushed into production yet, they are just not ready. They are still a science project.
