Motor vehicles were a major improvement over horses because of the speed, efficiency, and lower maintenance needs.

The problem with automated vehicles is that they are MORE expensive, aren't any faster than a regular car, and may ultimately achieve their safety improvements by operating slower than a conventional motor vehicle.

I've been saying for years that automated vehicles are a solution looking for a problem ... and I work professionally in an industry where I have to deal with this all the time.

There’s a lot of money and people being invested in the development of the technology. Maybe they see benefits you don’t.
