This has been all over the news lately, but it is NOT the first fatality... that was in California - a self driving Tesla- in 2016.

Well, from the very beginning of this whole driverless cars thing, I was shaking my head. Who the hell wants these things on the road other than Uber and Google (and Apple somewhat)? Why are these companies even developing this technology? I just DO NOT WANT a driverless vehicle taking me anywhere for any reason, unless it is on a track or a rail. These drone cars are not people and they are literally brainless. They are going to continue hitting people, animals in the road, and eventually a child who runs out into the street after a ball.
Why are they even doing it? Who benefits from these driverless vehicles except Uber? I get it, its because with these vehicles, you eliminate the driver and the cost of Uber taxis drops by more than half along with a ginormous profit increase. They should be banned, and ALL vehicles with a steering wheel should be required to be manned by a person.
