Veeky Forums, the smart thing is to ban people from driving cars, and you know this. You don't like it, but you know this is a surefire way to save lives. Those people dying in horrific accidents don't appreciate the risks they take when they take their eyes off the road... but they are still people's fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, cousins, coworkers, teachers. Lets make manual drive cars recreational and get rid of drivers' licenses for good. What need is there for ID except buying booze and voting? There are plenty of possible alternatives that don't even involve a national ID system- birth certificate tear-offs/copies, proof of residency, social security, state tax IDs, etc... you could also cut a fuck ton of DOT spending when you don't have to hire drivers license testers or registrars, and people can drive at any age if they can reach the pedals (recreational, on farms, etc).

fpbp

I used to make 16-20 hour drives nonstop all the time when I was 18, but that shit was hell for the last 4 or so hours every single time. At age 30 I realize how retarded that was and just stop if I'm feeling tired. Endangering the lives of others and your own self is not worth getting somewhere slightly faster and several times more miserable.

get a load of this faggot

Isn't that the point of self driving cars? To remove the fatal issue with driving?

I mean most people would rather look at their phone now days that look at the road or really anything else.

Hell most new cars come with things like lane assist and emergency stopping standard to counteract the fact that people literally cannot put down the phones.

Self driving cars aren't going to be commercially available for a long time. Commercial transport isn't going to come back In full force either without car manufacturers taking huge profit and job losses.

better idea, mandatory equipment in cars that disables cell signals in the car

yeah, but just think about how good it feels to finally get there and crash in a real bed instead of your back seat or whatever

lololololol
Or I don't know just force people to use manual?
You know what those people should die if they are dumb enought to do that. remove a tard from the gene pool fucking idiots
