text: The convenience of driverless cars are clear to see. A driverless car would be able to take over the control of the car during the mundane activities of everyday driving, such as being stuck in slow traffic or a monotonous drive down the interstate. In 2013, BMW began development on a "Traffic Jam Assistant" which would allow a car to take over control from the driver during slow driving situations when there is little skill required from a driver. Imagine that the next time a person was stuck in traffic, they could just let the car take over while he or she relaxed, unfrustrated by the stop and go movement of cars in a traffic jam. Another positive feature of driverless cars is that, according to Google cofounder Sergey Brin, they would consume about half as much gas as standard cars do today. This would be better for both the driver, as he or she would spend less on gas, and the environment, as there would be less consumption of fossil fuels and less emission into the atmosphere. The convenience of a driverless car is undeniable.
