Reducing the speed limit to 25 mph would save thousands of lives ... but we don’t do that, do we?
You won’t see fully automated vehicles on the road for decades, if at all.
The first automated car was developed by Princeton University and RCA in 1960. There’s a reason why we don’t have them on the road even 60 years later.

Yeah, the reason is: the computing power needed only reached feasible within the last few years. Now we do have self driving cars on the road, lacking only the “last hundred feet” ability. Go watch some “Tesla FSD” videos on YouTube already.

It’s called the stick shift! Which in fact, now is a security device! :-)
