text: Finally, the financial cost of all of this. Everytime something new comes out it's expencive and "high class", but everyone still wants it. If driverless cars become an actual thing then they're going to be high priced. Plus the production of them will be just that much more expensive. The United States already has enough debt to deal with why would we want to put ourselves in even more? Sure people would still buy them, but if the police can't ticket anyone for speeding then we loose money from that. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury. If the driverless cars happen to help with less accidents then hospitals would loose major profit from car accident pacients.
