You can't stop progress. In my opinion, drivers are already distracted. There's no denying it. I see a large percentage of the population texting, using Facebook, snapchat, Pinterest or some GPS program almost constantly while on the highways.
The problem is that driving is just boring enough that we end up with lots of unused brain capacity and we THINK we can do all these other things while out on the road and, frankly, 99.99% of the time, we can do those things and absolutely nothing bad will happen.
The problem comes when something unexpected occurs and we are distracted by our gadgets. In my opinion, the driverless car is the solution to this problem. People just don't care to pay attention to driving anymore and I'd rather see an alert technology directing these cars than a careless human driver.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.
