The Future Prohibition of Human-Driven Cars

The sources discuss the imminent replacement of human labor by Artificial Intelligence (AI), which David Shapiro argues is superior because it is more efficient, faster, economical, and safer. This trend is clearest in autonomous vehicles (AVs). Waymo data suggests AVs cause fewer accidents (0.59 per 1.5 million km) than human drivers (3 per 1.5 million km). Due to this safety disparity, some experts argue human driving may eventually be outlawed on public roads, possibly by 2050. AVs are seen as inherently safer and more efficient because human drivers are unstable and break rules. However, the transition faces major social hurdles, including job loss, income redistribution, and complex issues surrounding accident insurance and system security risks.
