People are the problem, it seems!
The automated car can remove that problem, at the driver's side.
The pedestrian, on the other hand... :-s
My brother had the idea that the cars of the future could be fully automated and fully community owned, that means you could get on any car and ask the car to take you where you wanted then just leave it there for whoever would need it.
In a city environment, where there's an abundance of cars, that would make sense.
Plus, the automated car would not be prone to road-rage nor rushing home to watch some football game, so accidents should become reduced.
I don't see the community car as viable, because different people have different needs. I need a car with three children's seats. I know a guy who needs 6 such seats.
Although.... the absence of accidents could lead those kids seats to become obsolete...
The future is full of possibilities.
