No offense but I hope you’re wrong. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.

There are some things which need to be gone. Accidents which kill many thousands in the U.S. alone, need to be gone. Paying $35,000 or more for vehicles, needs to be gone. Paying taxes for vehicle purchases, needs to be gone. Paying high prices for automobile insurance, needs to be gone. Paying good money for maintenance and repairs, needs to be gone. Paying for parking spaces, needs to be gone. Paying to maintain garages in homes, needs to be gone. Paying for fuel and then paying high-taxes for fuels/electricity, needs to be gone.

Worrying about dying in auto accidents, needs to be gone. Getting hit by drunk or impaired drivers, needs to be gone. Worrying about staying awake at the wheel, needs to be gone.

Having the extra time in a vehicle to work or do pleasurable things, is a very welcome change.

As far as I'm concerned, the advantages of driverless vehicles far outweigh the measly number of what some see as pleasurable activities.

Where does it end? Are airliners next? Where are my crash-free airplanes?...my banana peel-free sidewalks? There is no such thing as a risk-free America and there never will be.
