Are self-driving cars already safer than human drivers?
arstechnica.com
I learned a lot by reading dozens of Waymo and Cruise crash reports.

The fact that self driving cars exist is an admission that driving a car can really suck. Navigating busy suburbs and cities in a car is a stressful experience, especially when people are commuting to or from work.

I don’t think cars should be completely eliminated, as they have their place, but the existence of self driving cars is strong evidence of the insanity of the car being the only feasible way to get around some parts of the world.

    Like riding horses, driving a car should become a hobby.

    Once you’ve lived in a walkable neighborhood, everything else just pales in comparison.

      I agree with the walkable comment. I use to live in downtown Chicago. I loved it. I could walk to do 90% of my chores within a mile of my home.
