No, but the government should still require manual driving in case there is a technology malfunction.

 @9NCVR3Kfrom Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, or else the cause of accidents will be defended as “technological errors” instead of human negligence.

 @9TRVT2F  from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, restrictions are necessary and laws need to be updated to hold companies accountable for faulty autonomous vehicles causing accidents.

 @amayerica#1  from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, until we have a clear understanding of what the technology inhibits for us to completely rely on it.

 @9S9V8WS from California  answered…2yrs2Y

No, but should ensure that all operators of the vehicles can use it without relying on the technology.

 @9VJZYWB from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but not now. In the future this may become a bigger issue but it’s not something to worry about at the moment.

 @9TQ2NYH from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

I see both sides, I agree tech can make things safer but that we should also be careful and intentional with our use of it

 @9TR4434 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes and no, because while advanced tech could be very helpful in the cases of disabled drivers, this could lead to tech malfunctions and possible disaster. It might make driving significantly safer though, as some people are bad at driving.
