Tell that to the woman I saw driving down I-45 recently in a Tesla. Going well under the flow of traffic in the left lane, doing her makeup, completely not paying attention to anything but herself.

I agree these people are risking their lives.

That shows just how badly people want to do something else instead of driving though, and how important autonomous cars are. If tesla (or some other company) can get it right, this is transformative.

They are not just risking their lives. They are risking the lives of everybody around them as well.

This is already happening with people driving.

Pay attention to other drivers, I've seen people watch a movie on their phone while driving.

I've seen people move their hands completely off of the wheel and drive.

At least with this you usually don't go hitting other cars, rather hit barriers and walls.

People do that in ICE cars.
