Absolutely agree with your post above, I want the USA back.

Computers, radar, and lasers simply cannot make fine distinctions that a human brain CAN in the same situations.
I saw a kid so engrossed in his game, texting, or Facebooking that he came to a halt IN TRAFFIC doing whatever he was doing on his cellphone.
It was in a regular "dumb" car, not a self-driving / semi-autonomous vehicle. This insanity has to stop.

These vehicles will drive better than the average person. They see 360 degrees at all times and never become “distracted”. They do not drink.

Death rates plummet. Using the auto-mode will be optional though, at least until people think driving yourself is absolutely nuts and pass a law against it.
