Too Long; Didn't Read
There were over 37,000 fatal accidents in the US in 2017. Someday, driverless cars may make our roads safer. Driverless cars and taxis might someday provide mobility for people with limited mobility. The average American spends 97 hours a year, the equivalent of two and a half work weeks stuck in traffic. We do not want autonomous vehicles to crash, but we also want them to stop and block traffic every time they encounter an obstacle. The question is whether all this testing has made driverless vehicles safe.
