text: Even though the self driving car does still need a driver, that doesn't mean the driver actually has to manually brake or accelerate. The car does this on its own without human support. All the driver has to do is help the car navigate through complex traffic problems, which are not an everyday occurance. The driver would rarely have to take manual control of the vehicle. The driverless car is a pinnacle of safety that would keep the drivers safe despite the self driving aspect. The cars have an advanced sensor that would respond to driving accidents far better than a human could. If their was a train that was accelarating faster than a cheetah, the self driving car would respond by braking sooner and quicker than the average human ever could.
