Such as laws against texting while driving were made, laws will need to be put in place to ensure the safety of people. In this moment and time, cars are safer in the control of humans; to avoid confict with manufacturers and drivers, driveless cars are still not available for the public. But technology still continues to improve. So much so, Tesla is presenting a 2016 model that can drive by itself for ninety percent of the drive.

Cars that drive themselves may seem hazardous, but in the distant future they will be able to eventually become safe.
