text: Driverless cars are such a large step into the future that changing laws to deal with them are inefficient. The author indicates in paragraph nine that "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that they only safe car has a human driver in control at all times" but that "new laws will be needed" with the advent of driverless cars. Since the current laws regarding traffic only deal with cars driven by humans, having to rewrite the laws to deal with cars driven primarily by computers is inefficient. This is such a drastic change in the laws that it would truly take much time and capital to rewrite everything. In a society that revolves around cars driven by humans, this presents an unrealistic change in how traffic is controlled. As a result of the inefficience of changing the entire system, the development of driverless cars should be halted. Furthermore, the new laws may struggle with the liability of accidents, another reason why driverless cars would be a negative innovation.
