text: The cost to make driverless cars is going to expensive. Where do you expect to get the money to make these cars? For example, they need a whole lot of sensors; cameras to watch that the driver is remaining focused; and the most important bit of technology in the driverless car is the spinning sensor on the roof. Dubbed LIDAR, it uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the cars surroundings. All this fancy technology has to come out of someones pocket. Who's pocket do you think the goverment will take it out of? You are correct, the American's pockets. All our hard earned cash going to a car that we do not even need.
