text: First, there's the increased risk of an accident. Sure technology is highly advanced now a days, but that doesn't mean there are zero problems. "If the technology fails", there is always a chance that something could go wrong. For example, how many times has your phone crashed or shut down on you? That could very likely happen to your driverless car. I know I wouldn't want a malfunction in my car and not be able to get anywhere, let alone get in an accident because something went wrong in my car.
