driving these are all human faults. But what if there was a way to erase these faults‚ and significantly reduce human deaths and injuries on roads‚ there is‚ driverless cars. A car without a steering wheel‚ your own personal taxi‚ but without the driver‚ without the overpriced fares or having to stick to a bus timetable.
