I don’t understand how so many people can look at an industry/technology that has detonated into exponential/logistic growth, and not see where it is going, and how fast. Is it some sort of disease or injury? Is it social pressure? Or is it just simply low IQ?

Self driving cars are safer than people driven cars, and getting better by a magnitude of ten every year. Electric cars are here, whether the grid can charge them or not, they are here. Insurance for manually driven cars will go up drastically over the next decade. Internal combustion engine cars are going to vanish over the next decade. Good or bad, it is happening now.

—”Self driving cars are safer than people driven cars, and getting better by a magnitude of ten every year.”

Driving an automobile is believed to be the most dangerous common event Americans face.

“In the United States, an estimated one in 120 miles was driven drunk in 1992–1993. For 1 in 7 miles driven after 1 AM on weekend evenings, a drunk sat behind the wheel. The estimated cost per DWI vehicle mile was $5.80 compared to $0.11 per sober mile. Males, those age 21 to 29, and those driving between 10 PM and 4 AM had the greatest percentage of alcohol-impaired driving. “

My wife selected a Prius V for her retirement car and gave the Accord to our daughter.
Our insurance went down so much I thought was an error.
