Within the next two years, Tesla and Google will each be releasing their own autonomic automobiles to consumers. They are designed to allow people to travel without the necessity to maneuver a vehicle. This form of transportation will be accessible for the youth and the elderly. There will no longer be a need for designated drivers, a concern for texting while driving, or the stress of other reckless drivers and road rage.

In 2011 there were 5.3 million automobile crashes in the United States and Americans spend more than $230 billion dollars to cover the cost of these accidents. The National Safety Council announced that about 2.6 million …show more content…
With self-driving cars, the ownership and use of the vehicle would be similar to a taxi system. Researchers from the University of Austin Texas has found that if all the cars in the US were driverless, one driverless car could replace 11 conventional automobiles. On the simulation that they have developed, an average rider would have to wait about 18 seconds for their driverless car to arrive to pick them up, each vehicle would serve around between 30 and 40 people on a daily basis. This method allows for more efficient usage of the vehicles through a shared system that still allows each individual to have access to the vehicles as needed. This would result in a cheaper way of transportation for people who use cars as their primary method of
