Okay. This is pretty exciting. As implied by films like Minority Report, remote control cars, if reliable, would reduce risks created by human error. Shaving/Eating while driving, etc. I'm sure errors would still occur from time to time, mechanical breakdown and so on but the routine blunders that cause cars to cross the centerline and plow into oncoming traffic would likely be reduced considerably. Being able to sleep while driving will no longer be a rather funny sight gag in National Lampoon films. Whatever makes driving more safe and efficient is fine by me.
