However, I wouldn't be surprised of some technologist has been hyping self-driving technology as a way to achieve a magic utopia by increasing efficiency by getting rid of those kinds of safeguards (e.g.) safe following distance), because machines are perfect won't make mistakes. After all, once we get rid of those pesky humans, shouldn't cars be able to barrel down the highway at 100mph with the following distance of stop-and-go traffic, because of the magic of internet and algorithms?
