While every death is a tragedy to someone, the actual MVI death rate has dropped dramatically over time. The increase in vehicles and population is the only reason these graphs aren't steeper in the evident decline of fatalities.

As the nation speeds toward development of fully self-driving vehicles, here’s a speed bump to consider: Not only is hacking a “real threat,” but “autonomous vehicles provide an avenue for terrorism as well,” Congress was told on Tuesday.
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) asked RAND Senior Information Scientist Nidhi Kalra, “How real is the threat of vehicle hacking” when it comes to autonomous vehicles. […]
… “[A]utonomous vehicles provide an avenue for terrorism as well because there’s a way to use these vehicles to — you know — the threat is no longer sort of suicide bombers and — that blow themselves up, but now we have vehicles that can drive around. So, I don’t want to overstate the risk at this time, but we need to think very broadly about cyber security, not only as a hacking opportunity but also as a terrorism opportunity. …

Moslems have no qualms about dying for their cult of personality, so going autonomous will not be an issue.
This is a good point. I have no doubt that it will happen. I’m glad someone is looking at this.
I am too.
I’m also at a loss to justify autonomous cars on the road.
I’m against it.
Just watched another video which claims that Michael Hastings was killed (someone hacked into his vehicle). I absolutely believe he was killed along with Andrew Breitbart, Tom Clancy, and Michael Crichton, Too many variables for it to ever have been “accidents” and some PhDs know they were targeted and probably killed. They all knew too much and had the platform to reveal the truth. (Truth is not allowed anymore).
It is why they want smart meters everywhere—to monitor everyone, 24/7 and to make us sickly. The depopulation plan of Gates is a biggee. The psychopaths want at least 6 million people to die off. They have written about this extensively and even put up a monument for their satanic sodomite rituals about elimination of billions, so no doubt about their “agenda 30”.
This is the NWO wet-dream, to be able to control every single person on earth and control where, when and if they can go anywhere. Note how they are making cars where the average person will never be able to “fix” it like in the 50s. They want agency eliminated—for slave mindsets in our children.
It is why the cartel hated Henry Ford so VERY much, since he made it possible for the little man—and a huge middle class— to have so much freedom, never before possible, and not have to use the elites’ trains, their little systems to control and herd us for dehumanization and destruction of autonomy.
Cashless society is the BIG one——if they get away with that, we will be complete slaves of the psychopathic sodomites.
That makes two of us.
... Not to mention “Delivery Drones” delivering to targeted addresses and so called “Flying Cars” Dropping off a payload to a target ....
Thanks.
IMO, it’s a precursor to them trying to take away our driving ability.
I’ll just say no right now to that.
When I get old and can no longer drive, I'd really like a car that can drive me to places I'd like to go. My father is now at the stage in his life where he can no longer drive, yet the technology isn't quite there yet for him to get one.
I don’t believe this technology will lower death tolls on the roads, any more than automated trains lower deaths in the subways. I have a hard time trusting imperfect software designed by imperfect humans.
Not to mention, Islamic terrorists are one thing, but left-wing terrorists are still a danger, and they are the ones pushing for this kind of technology.

What other purpose could they have bur terrorism?

You have hit on the big pink elephant in the room. Driverless cars have twice the accident rate of vehicles with drivers. “They’re usually hit from behind in slow-speed crashes by inattentive or aggressive humans unaccustomed to machine motorists that always follow the rules and proceed with caution.”
Well, as a guy on the in the oldest cohort of the boomers, I am hoping that driverless vehicles will be available just in time for me to not have to give up individual mobility.
We don't have Uber in my little town, and the idea of having to wait hours for a taxi just does not appeal. I am not wealthy enough to hire a driver, and I am not certain I really want anyone to know all of my movements anyway.
If I have to pay double a normal car cost for an autonomous vehicle I can just tell where to go, it will be worth it to me. Even if it has to be electric, which I really don't like at all.
And, the "higher" accident rate, from being rear-ended doesn't seem like that big a deal. If someone's insurance rate goes up because they are too aggressive a driver, that is their problem, not the fault of the car.
The drone society is not my dream of freedom.
Cell phones, internet, planes, cars...they all need to be “reduced” and heavily “watched” for terrorists. /s
Regulations requiring that capability were to go into effect in 2018. Thankfully, those regulations were put on hold by President Trump in the first few days of his administration.
