text: Lastly, new drivers will have lots of time saved once driverless cars are everywhere. New drivers currently have to spend at least 50 hours driving with a parent or guardian before they are considered ready to drive alone (and let's not forget that new drivers have a 50% chance to be involved with a crash during their first year of driving with a license). So driverless cars will free up time for families with new or inexperienced drivers as well as save them money. Most new drivers take a driver's ed class (which first of all takes a lot of time) and they can be hundreds of dollars! There's no reason we shouldn't eliminate these pointless negative aspects of our current system.
