Every car has it's problems, so why are people just focused on driveless cars problems? Yeah they might crash, but every car can crash so why are you just focused on one car? I think driveless cars can actually help with a lot here's why. Driveless cars take less fuel. That means it will take less money to full up the...

Driverless cars are inevitably coming, no matter when or how, and we as citizens can't affect that, because the government and the car manufacturers are the ones who make the ultimate decision.
