text: I think that driverless cars seem safe, and maybe even safer than cars on the road today. Sensors are very important in these cars and thats what will make them so safe. The technology being used in the cars are important as they will help the car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel. Information of the sensors can cause the car to brake or reduce power from the engine. This passage states many times that the cars are being made to alert drivers when going through tough situations such as accidents or roadwork on the roads ahead. A manufacturer "has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object", which will also help the driver to be aware of their surroundings and will reduce accidents.
