Driverless cars have a better record than human drivers. Their most common accident is being rear-ended by human drivers who are running red lights and expect the driverless car in front of them to do the same.
A week in a spinal ward might bring home the benefits of driverless cars. It's a no brainer when considered in terms of relative risks, rather than risk elimination. They are also likely to improve traffic flow and ease congestion. Especially when human drivers are completely gone.
