That, in turn, makes the selling price higher so that car companies can make a profit. So this may not even be a major factor on the roads at all for quite some time. With all the technology used in cars, such as Google's modified version of a Toyota Prius, it could cause a problem for service and mechanics to work on the car without a college degree, and that would absolutely limit the number of mechanics in the field today. They would need a degree in mechanical engineering, as well as Digital Electronics, which isn't typical for a mechanic. A driverless car could affect the ecomomy and population in good ways too, but the bad reasons seem to overtake the good reasons.
