text: Another huge problem with the new cars is whither a human in the "driver seat" would be assisting or driving. If a car could go forward on its own, but can't drive under certain conditions, how is it really a driverless car? If a person in the car were to fall asleep while being drove by the car, then there were to be an accident that the car couldn't handle, how would the car alert the person it was time to drive. There is a big reason as to why people dont hop out of bed and into a car. The brain needs time to adjust and wake up before attempting a process that can quite legitimately kill people. A single car accident can kill many people. Pretending that driverless cars are a toy isn't an option. People with health problems wouldn't find a driverless cars helpful either. Awareness of people who cant feel vibrations, cannot hear, and cannot see, would all be in danger riding in this type of car. Without being in control of the wheel and acceleration at all times reduces the feeling of needing to be alert in the car, causing more careless accidents that could have been avoided if the car had an alert and ready driver.
