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.
In high school I worked at a tire store. It was my job to clean the customers cars.. From that experience I know their will never be a community in which I would want to share a car with. Most of you people are animals that poop In Your cages. Your cars seem to remind you of your cages.
Think subway, without the accountability of 20 other people keeping me freekshow from taking a dump on the floor.
Publicly accessible cars would be a horror show.
