text: Driverless cars pose a large threat to the general populace. These autonomous vehicles could potentially take hundreds of lives a year; possibly thousands. Although there may be some good things about switching to autonomous cars, there are many more bad. These cars are robotic, and not human operated. The human brain has a very efficient way of knowing when something is unsafe, and preventing that from happening. These cars couldn't notice if there were road traffic ahead, and if they were to continue driving, it could cause an accident. The same scenario goes for if there were someone walking across the road, a pedestrian.
