They are getting us ready for the self driving cars of the future where you can do anything you want while driving because you aren't really driving. The car is driving itself. You're just a passenger even if you're behind the wheel.
Idiots do anything they want to while driving anyway.
Even with all the current electronic gadgets people dick around with while driving casual conversation is still the #1 reason in distracted driver accidents.
Drunk drivers during the holiday season really spook me, Thanksgiving I had two drunks on my way home from a dinner engagement that appeared they were out to kill.
Last Christmas I was off the road dodging a obvious drunk coming at me head on.
I was invited to a Christmas dinner just yesterday and haven't confirmed yet. My biggest concern are the drunks involved with the 40 miles I'll have to drive if I accept the invitation.
I don't think self driving cars will be as bad as the drivers we now have to deal with.
At least the cars can't get willingly distracted or drunk.
