                                           Driverless Cars???


​Do you think Driverless cars sound like a bad idea?  They're not.  Check the statistics. There are many things people do well but driving, apparently,  is not one of them. 


Annual United States Road Crash Statistics
  • Over 37,000 people die in road crashes each year
  • An additional 2.35 million are injured or disabled
  • Over 1,600 children under 15 years of age die each year
  • Nearly 8,000 people are killed in crashes involving drivers ages 16-20
  • Road crashes cost the U.S. $230.6 billion per year, or an average of $820 per person
  • Road crashes are the single greatest annual cause of death of healthy U.S. citizens traveling abroad



​Development of "self driving cars" has been going on for a long time.  
​                          Here is a recap!
Go for a ride in a Tesla self driving car!  This entire trip was done "driver free".  When you get to the end and the driver vacates the car . . . stick with it . . . because he sends a message for the car to go park someplace.  The car does that with nobody inside!

Incredible!
