text: Think about it, the self driving cars make us do one less thing in our lives. It's an important thing too! Driving down the road where you have to trust other people in their cars and in your ability to drive your car. What would we do in our cars then? The car would basically be a very weirdly based time machine that we hop in. We'd be texting in the car, checking our social media, eating our breakfast on the way to work. We wouldn't realize what's going on around us.
