THIS. Faster cars would not benefit the core users of cities -- people on foot. However, autonomous cars should be much safer as they have senors to avoid collisions. Car drivers often come onto sidewalks to avoid hitting cars. So yes, to avoid a minor car accident, car drivers kill people on sidewalks. The biggest benefit to autonomous cars will be that we will go from 40,000 people dying a year to almost none. That's a huge win. And if that's all we get, wouldn't that be awesome?
