While some may argue that the automation of the car takes away the factor of human error, this puts too much trust in the computers. While tested, and proven safe, it is still worrysome to think about the fact that the operator's life is solely in the driving skill of the computer that is driving the car. It is unrealistic to put this much trust into a computer preforming a predominantly human activity. Human knowlege, reactions, and skill are all key attributes in driving, which is why taking these attributes away may turn out to be dangerous. This is the reason that "...in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars" (9). Things are not just made illegal without ample reason to do so. Clearly the United States government, the most powerful government in the world believes that there is too much risk involved in testilng, nonetheless driving these furutistic automobiles.
