Introduction
Driverless cars are the future of transportation. They’ll help us reduce traffic congestion and cut down on the number of accidents that occur every year. But what about safety? Autonomous vehicles can’t be safer than human drivers, right? Wrong! In fact, driverless cars are likely to be safer than human drivers in most cases. Here’s how:
Driverless cars are safer than human drivers.
Driverless cars are safer than human drivers. They’re programmed to follow the rules of the road, and they can react more quickly than humans. Driverless cars have sensors that can detect danger sooner than human drivers, who may be distracted by their phones or music.
The safest autonomous vehicle is one that doesn’t have a driver in it at all.

If humans are going to be involved in driving, they should be passengers only. That way, we can get rid of all the distractions and accidents caused by texting or drinking while driving–and even fatigue from long commutes!
Driverless cars will also be able to sense danger sooner than human drivers can because they don’t need sleep (or coffee). They’re constantly looking out for hazards like animals crossing roads or pedestrians stepping off curbs without looking both ways before crossing streets.
In some cases, autonomous vehicles could be safer than human drivers.
By now, you’ve likely heard of the potential dangers that autonomous vehicles pose to pedestrians. But did you know that in some cases, these new technologies could actually be safer than human drivers?
Autonomous vehicles don’t get distracted by phones or other passengers; they don’t get drunk or tired; and they can sense dangers sooner and react faster than humans. In fact, our research shows that if all cars were autonomous (meaning no human drivers), road fatalities would drop by up to 90{a5ecc776959f091c949c169bc862f9277bcf9d85da7cccd96cab34960af80885}.
Self-driving cars will be able to sense danger sooner and react quicker than humans can.
Autonomous vehicles have better sensors than humans. For example, the Lidar system that helps self-driving cars detect objects has a range of 100 meters (328 feet), while human vision only allows us to see about 50 meters (164 feet) ahead. As such, autonomous vehicles can react faster than humans and sense danger sooner than we can. They also don’t get distracted or drunk like we do–and this means they’ll be better at avoiding accidents altogether!
This is especially true when it comes to avoiding pedestrians who are crossing the street without looking both ways first (or running into cyclists). Self-driving cars won’t make any mistakes like this because they’re programmed to follow all traffic laws strictly; in fact, some people worry that having an autonomous vehicle drive them around might actually make them worse drivers since they’ll be much less cautious behind the wheel!
Autonomous vehicles don’t get distracted or drunk like humans do.
Autonomous vehicles don’t get distracted or drunk like humans do.
They don’t text, they don’t get distracted by the radio, and they don’t start singing along with their favorite song. They are focused on driving safely at all times–no matter what else is going on around them.
Autonomous vehicles are going to be safer for everyone on the road
Autonomous vehicles are going to be safer for everyone on the road. They will be able to react quicker to dangerous situations, sense danger sooner than humans do and they don’t get distracted or drunk like humans do.
Autonomous vehicles will also be able to avoid accidents that might have been caused by human error. For example, if there is an accident ahead of you and another car speeds up behind you, your autonomous vehicle will slow down so it can stop safely in case there is any debris from the accident in front of it.
Conclusion
Autonomous vehicles are going to be safer for everyone on the road. They’re already proving this by being safer than human drivers, but they can get even better with time as more data is collected and analyzed. We’re also seeing new developments in technology that will make autonomous cars even safer than they are today–and that’s huge news for anyone who cares about road safety!
