Google's Driverless Cars

Google's driverless car technology has the very real potential to transform the world. Google’s claims for the car, as described by its lead developer, are:

-reduce traffic accidents by 90%
-reduce wasted commute time and energy by 90%
-reduce the number of cars by 90%

And if realized, this will save trillions of dollars of time, effort and resources over time, as the table at left indicates.
