text: One major consideration for the development of the driverless car is the environmental benefits. The Google cofounder Sergey Brin says that the cars "would use half the fuel of toay's taxis." There is a large fear of increasing gas prices and lack of natural resources in the world today. The production of driverless cars would quell those fears as they are much more fuel efficient than the cars used today. Brin also states that the cars would "offer far more flexibility than a bus." This is crucial as the bus usually has a route that it must adhere to while the driverless car can go straight to the desired location. This aspect also positively impacts the environment. Similarly, the advanced technology that is already being created also helps with the development of the driverless car.
