You are absolutely correct. That would almost certainly reduce deaths, and I would support taxing myself more for more money to go towards safer public transportation to reduce traffic fatalities. I will, at the same time, support self-driv

I'd estimate that a solid 90% of the mainstream news I read about computer science subjects has factual errors. Not interpretations different than mine--stuff that just ain't true. It makes me wonder how competent the writer is, a
