text: Another pro of driverless cars is safety. The author of this article cites Googles semi-driverless cars as having driven "more than half a million miles without a crash". Automobile accidents are devastating and very widespread in our modern world. Even with laws against driving under the influence and using cell phones while driving, crashes are still a large issue. If we could develop a car that can avoid accidents almost entirely, then vehicle safety and crashes would be a non-issue. People are going to drink and text and drive regardless of laws, so if our cars can avoid danger regardless of the state of the driver, then everyone would be safe always.
