So why do we have more deaths? Because people have become worse drivers! How have they become worse? Texting & Mobile Phones. Your right people should drive with two hands on the wheel but they don't. If the choice is automated cars versus cars with people facebooking as they drive, I think the choice is easy.

That's a good observation, but there's more too it than that. People have definitely become worse drivers. Unfortunately, people seem to be dumber in general. They are spending too much time on facebook and twitter. I don't have a facebook account and I never will. The whole educational system is a big failure. We need to go back to basics like reading, writing, arithmetic in elementary school and forget the rest. In High School, more time needs to be devoted to Drivers Ed too.

I think he showed he is human. I am sure the ego is large. But I find it funny one month he is the greatest thing, then he says something stupid and is now a villain.

Kinda reminds me of Trump over the years being herald as a savvy business man by the media...

I like Musk and I think he and Trump have something in common. Tweet less.

yes, they are both dreamers and they love to play with someone else's money.

** I think this is actually a big point. Cars are so much safer today than they were just a few years ago, never mind decade's ago. So why do we have more deaths? Because people have become worse drivers! How have they become worse? Texting & Mobile Phones. Your right people should drive with two hands on the wheel but they don't. If the choice is automated cars versus cars with people facebooking as they drive, I think the choice is easy.

More miles are being driven, which is one reason. The curve of deaths per billion of miles travelled is bottoming out - but it will never be smooth - or get to the bottom.

I think you make a good point about over confidence in skill level. Which I think also applies to becoming over confident in the higher safety of the car. i.e people assume they will be alright as they are in a safe car.

But there are plenty of other distractions in the car - satnav, more adhd kids = driving their parents nuts in the back seat, poorer health of drivers = more heart attacks at the wheel, more rednecks (evidenced by Trump being elected ) = higher percentage of people not wearing seatbelts, more podcasts = a deeper level of distracted thought while driving......

So, yeah, I agree - driverless cars are the way to go.

If we switched to cursive and stick shift cars we could cripple an entire generation.

Even on a per mile driven basis its increased 10% in the last 2 years.

Don't forget rotary phones! And push button TV's.
