Idiots. Of course they will until they are perfected. The cars of yesteryears were death traps and now they are pretty darn safe for the most part. These authors are so dumb.
They keep talking about “driverless vehicles”, and it will remain BS for a number of years.
The best they will accomplish over the short term is an “advanced cruise control” which will keep you in your lane, and save you if you start to nod off.
