Because cars replaced them. > Seems like it'll depend on how thoroughly self-driving becomes a thing of the past on its own.

- graemep 2y agoThey were a leading cause of death when they were a common mode of transport. Riding a horse is very dangerous. Its just regarded as an acceptable risk (its something many people encourage kids to do) for cultural and social reasons. A British government scientific advisor was fired for pointing out that riding a horse carries about 30 times the risk of a "serious adverse effect" as taking ecstasy.
