Makes up for all the people who are terrible drivers. We can't get people to stop driving impaired or distracted, so take away their control of the car.

@gmatthewb That is crazy talk

@Fernie What is crazy is people not taking their driving seriously enough to do it correctly.

@gmatthewb you seem to think every human being...except you of course, drive like idiots and we should be ruled and replaced by robots

@Fernie Not everybody, but most are terrible drivers. I saw it daily as I drove down the roads in both Canada and the United States.

@gmatthewb most? that's just silly

@Fernie Not really. I have talked to a lot of people who don't even know the safe distance to follow the vehicle in front of them. Most don't even know how to measure it. Also, I have seen thousands of people not using their signal lights correctly. I see people changing lanes incorrectly all the time. I have seen countless wrecks on the roads. I have seen people doing illegal maneuvers on the roads as well. There have been days I have been able to see 1 bad driver for every half hour of driving down the road. So, I think 'most' is accurate.
