text: According to the article, it says that "In 2013, BMW announced the development of "Traffic Jam Assistant". The car can handle driving functions at sppeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel and the driver must remain alert". If the driver still needs to hold on to the wheel, then why are they called driverless cars? This can be very dangerous because the driver may not be fully alert to take over. Something may go wrong to where the driverless car doesn't alert the driver to take over in time which could lead to a serious accident.
