User blog comment:Dinosaurus12345/Why are people loving self-driving cars, unlike in the past?/@comment-28637315-20171023235025

Self driving cars would be a lot more beneficial when you look at the amount of car accidents caused by alcoholism or plain road rage. The idea of a self driving car is to get the occupant from one location to another in the safest way possible.

The idea of self driving cars is appealing, but yes, the cars may be hacked to drive erratically, but since we have no widespread use of it yet, we have no idea if it's even possible.

Nevertheless, self driving cars would be built to defend against hacks, and the arrival of self driving cars is inevitable.
