Driving is an integral part of American culture, and the car is a symbol and means to personal freedom. For some people, driving is more than just a
pastime, it’s a right.
Meanwhile, the rise of autonomous vehicles
promises safer highways, greater energy efficiency, cleaner air, and easier commuting for all of us.
Is this shaping up to be a battle over our roads and highways? Should people be allowed to drive if computers can do it better? Is there a future for
recreational driving and personal vehicles? How can we realize the promise of driverless cars while still leaving room for people who want to drive?
