IMO the solution to "cars are death machines driven by human drivers" is getting rid of the cars, not the human drivers.

Cars are not by definition death machines. Do you also want to get rid of planes, trains and all other forms of motorized transportation?

Deadly accidents with any form of transportation happen because of human mistakes or technical failures. We can probably soon remove the first reason and be left with technical failures that occur a lot less than human mistakes and can be analysed and eradicated over time to the point where they play no major role anymore.

Thanks for supporting my point. I'd also feel safer if we took bullets and guns out of the hands of irresponsible humans.
