In the US, there are more than 322 million people today.
In the US, 2,626,418 people died in 2014 from all causes. Of these, 32,675 died in traffic accidents.
To put the numbers in perspective, let it be mentioned that in 2014 all the automobiles in the US together travelled 3,026 billion miles. That means that there is one fatal accident in 1.08 million vehicle miles travelled.
Frankly, it bodes no good for our society if these numbers leads society to outlaw manual driving.
Do we really want to give up our freedom, bit by bit, for a little more "safety"?
Re: Communism = Technology
Those who want to give away their freedom to obtain a little more safety, will in the end lose both their freedom and their safety.
It is astonishing to see that people never learn that simple fact, which has been proven since time immemorial.

We need to put this into proper perspective.

Why not just say NO to self-driving cars?
The problems of privacy, freedom and choice connected to self-driving cars are easily overcome.
The only thing we need to do, is to say a resounding NO to self-driving cars
