There are many potential benefits of self-driving vehicles, including: Increased safety: One of the biggest advantages of self-driving vehicles is that they are much safer than human-driven vehicles. In 2020, over 1400 people were killed in cars and the vast majority of these accidents were caused by human error, such as distracted driving or drunk driving. With ADSs, these kinds of accidents could be prevented. Reduced traffic congestion: Self-driving vehicles can communicate with each other to avoid traffic jams and optimise routes. This could lead to shorter commute times and less traffic congestion overall. More free time: If you have a long commute, you could use that time to do other things instead of sitting behind the wheel. Or, if you're not comfortable driving, you could let the ADS do the work for you.
