text: Another reason I think driverless cars are unnecessary is that there is absolutely nothing with standard cars. Sure, people will be stupid and get behind the wheel under the influence; but, they will be able to be held accountable for their actions and have to pay fines, serve time, etc. What will become of people who just want to drive to drive? Standard cars provide security in knowing that the person behind the wheel will need to know what they're doing. What if a cell tower is down and the car won't be able to drive itself? How does the car drive in places with absolutely no reception? Driverless cars are not big of enough of a step up from standard cars.
