Safer-that’s what bean counters do.
Just think. Doing work online while transporting oneself. No need for parking lots or garages as an Uber-based system will eliminate the need for private vehicles. Garages can be converted into one’s imagination, perhaps even rented out to the uber companies for quicker neighborhood response. Insurance rates will go down or even eliminated just like the highway patrol. Stalled traffic at intersections will be lower-replaced with turnabouts. One-lane streets requiring less maintenance.
I’m way ahead of you all.
Will people still own private cars?
Even as an accused “bean counter,” I do admit to your imaginative foresight here. Self driving vehicles will indeed change our society, much of it beneficial.
