Do We Need Self-Driving Cars?

On March 24, 2017, an Uber self-driving car was involved in a high-speed crash with another car.

At the first glance, this seems to be bad news for the future of self-driving car industry. However, as police announced later, the Uber car had the right of way and bears no blame. As a consequence, this incident is, in fact, evidence in favor of self-driving cars, because it further reasserts that we humans are really terrible drivers. As a matter of fact, self-driving cars could save thousands of lives.
