I read about really bad accidents at least once a week. Mostly the
people would not have been in one if the car was paying attention.
Falling asleep on their way home from Atlantic City. Or the ever
popular 'lost control' ... these would all be avoidable with computer
intervention.

My point being I think the accident rate would plummet despite any
collisions that might be caused by computer controlled vehicles.
The computer isn't desperate to read its texts, for one thing.
Doesn't drink and never had a bad night's sleep.
