100% against everything being monitored and data sold like it is….. but part of me wishes there was a way to work towards getting bad drivers off of the roads.

This is not the way to do that as the insurance companies only have one goal and that is to raise profits.

But when you stand on any random street corner and 30-60 % of every driver driving by is looking down at their cell phone, it is very scary.

People don’t use turn signals, speed through residential neighborhoods, change lanes in the middle of intersections, it’s insane. We need to make our world less car reliant, it’s unacceptable.

Autonomous vehicles are the only achievable solution to distracted driving. Individuals can be nice but people as a whole are lazy and selfish pieces of shit. You'll never get anywhere close to even 90% doing the right thing just by relying on people's good intentions.

How about trains? That way 99% of people dont' even need to drive, ever.

Sure that works great, now since that infrastructure doesn't exist just go get it built. I'm sure massive government spending that benefits the general public more than corporations will be very easy to secure.
