text: Safety is the most important thing when it comes to developing a driverless car. Right now driverless cars "... can steer, accelertate and brake themselves, but all are designated to notify the driver when the road ahead required human skill, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." The driver must remain focused on the road, even in a driverless car. According to Dr. Werner, this poses a psycological hazard because a driver is prone to get bored while the car is normally driving. This can result in an accident due to the driver's faliure to respond to the driverless car (that needed human support, while navigating through a problem in the road). If driverless cars still need a driver, the car is still not safe enough to be out in the public because it is a risk to both pedestrians, passengers and drivers.
