Detroit - Still the Automotive Capital of the World?

I don't understand the push for driverless cars. Who wants them? Most consumers don't.

Transportation businesses want them. Just think of how many employees they can cut. Think of all the shuttle bus, taxi and delivery truck drivers. Think of all the regulations that would no longer apply. A robo-truck never needs sleep. It never needs to pass a drug test.

If robo-cars cut accidents by even a tiny percentage, The insurance industry will price you out of driving. Oh, you want to drive your own car., That will be $2000 a year extra.
