text: Another key reason as to why driverless cars should be developed is that they could provide greater safety for passengers. In the current state of driving, the majority of accidents are caused by human error. These errors can come in various forms, whether it be a person not braking soon enough, driving through a red light, or operating his or her vehicle recklessly. These prevalent problems that continually cause accidents for humans could be stopped completely if autonomous cars were used. Autonomous cars would be programmed so that they wouldn't go dangerously fast, and their sensors would warn them when to brake and how much pressure to apply to the brake. The issue of drunk driving would also become less of a problem as the car would have control of the wheel and wouldn't make the same judgement errors than an intoxicted driver might. Driverless cars can only become safer.
