Any way to reduce the risk from distracted driving is a positive one.…

The second piece of evidence is that you have a higher chance of dying because the car could malfunction and lose control and maybe drive off a cliff.…

In the next four to five years’ driverless cars will be on the road if they can overcome some technological, ethical, legal, and business hurdles. Firstly, with current technological hardware and software there are not enough safety features that can guarantee the safety of the passengers and pedestrians. There is also the ethical issue of a driverless car that is programmed to prioritize saving the lives of pedestrians over the lives of passengers. There are demonstrations such as the one depicted in the article “Researchers hack into driverless car system, take control of vehicle” were driverless cars were hacked do to their reliance on wireless technology.…
Driverless car is a work in progress that is potentially important in technology where a computer would drive the car instead of a person.

The typical American spends an average of roughly 100 hours a year in traffic; imagine using that time in better ways — by working or just having fun” (1). Cowen is sure that the transit system will work much better if people would use the system driverless cars. Even though driverless cars are not legal in any states of the United States, it can be a reality very soon…
