There is some fear among the insurance biz that self-driving cars will shut them down. And it’s possible, when human error is eliminated. Nothing soon, but it’ll eventually happen.
I see the potential for self driving cars with breathalyzers in them.
IF you have had too many alcoholic beverages, your car drives you home. The only people against this would be LAWYERS.
There was a story yesterday about a dog out on the highway on NH/VT border. The dog led the police to a vehicle that had gone off the road. Saved the life of the two guys in the truck. It turned out the driver was drunk. Maybe IF they had a self driving pickup truck, they would have made it home.
Look at what self driving vehicles did to the Boeing 737, the most reliable plane in aviation history. Lessons taught, nothing learned.
