Blogger DrSingularity describes witnessing a serious road accident — the second this month, with a man hospitalized — and argues that human driving is a century-old disaster that must end.
He expects autonomous vehicles to become the norm, human driving to eventually be banned on public roads, and the tipping point to arrive in the late 2020s/early 2030s once self-driving consistently proves safer in the data. He dismisses "freedom to drive" objections as irrelevant against the safety numbers.
