As millions will lose driving jobs, understandably the focus is often on the negative economic impacts of self-driving vehicles. But they come with huge plusses, too. This article by neurosurgeon Jonathan Slotkin details those.
The data is in. Today’s self-driving vehicles are dramatically safer and cause fewer accidents than human drivers. Furthermore, they’ll keep getting safer and better, too.

Insurance fees is what will drive adoption of self-driving cars.
I’ve been saying that for 5 years, people will have a “choice” of course but it’ll be a luxury to analog a car in 25 years–for many good reasons.
