And will the first person be injured or killed or bomb be delivered by a driverless car? Mark my words I see these as source of death and destruction, without the suicide bomber.

Dr, like 40,000 die annually. Maybe fewer with self-dr8ving cars.

Those self-driving driverless cars scare me. Let's say you're driving a car, and someone else runs a red light or is drunk and driving crazy, and that other car hits your car. As your car careens off course, you attempt to take control and several options present themselves to you.

One path will have you running over a young mother pushing a baby stroller. Another path will have you running over several small children. Another path will have you smash into a bus stop with a homeless guy on a bench. You have limited control and these are your options.

Can a computerized self-driving car make the most humane decision as to whose lives to spare? I've seen collisions like this happen within my sight, with a hit car deftly avoiding spinning into pedestrians in a crosswalk, just barely. Can a computerized driver do the same?

At the very least, we need to prohibit Muslims, illegals, and liberals from owning or using a driverless car in any capacity.
