A little talk about cars. Cars that have features to take over driving when you are not able to will save lives. There are so many scenarios in which this is useful.
Let’s say you ignore all the warnings about drunk driving and its potential effects on you and other people on the road at the same time as you, and go driving drunk. Maybe it is a heartbreak that got you in that mess. Now you are barely able to keep in your lane on the freeway, and going from side to side.
In comes the autonomous car. Upon sensing that you are no longer capable of driving, it takes over, and keeps you in your lane. It even takes control of speed and direction and gets you home safely, even with you passed out on the drivers seat, head leaning on the steering wheel.
Will that not have saved your life? Yes it would have. Who would have known what else could have happened had it not stepped in. You could have easily had a head on collision with someone innocent, or worse still, someone else too drunk to avoid you too. This way I think these autonomous cars will save lives.
