Cmon! With that line of thinking you’d still be taking car and buggy today and running lights of kerosene lamps

...

Then there was the Uber driver who went on a killing spree between fares.

As long as the driverless cars are statistically safer, they would be the smart choice.

The very last paragraphs says that drivers would still have jobs in call centers taking control of vehicles that have gotten into situations they can’t handle. The stupidity is mind boggling.

It's coming.

When the motor vehicle got invented, most people swore that they would never ride in such a contraption. They'd stick to their trusty horse and buggy - thank you very much.

Then when the airplane came along, most people swore that you would never catch them in such a contraption. "If God intended us to fly, why he'd have given us wings" they used to say.

So it's coming and eventually people will come to accept them. Personally I can't wait for them to come to New York City as I hate dealing with taxi drivers and riding the subway has a lot of downside.

Happens with human drivers too.
My wife’s favourite aunt & uncle took a taxi from a Pakistani airport. Ended up in nowhere, surrounded with armed men obviously intending to kill them. They were released upon hearing General ______ would be looking for him, with obvious consequences, if not at a meeting next morning.

Driverless cars will be a big boost to the economy in so many ways.
