Maybe time for a thread title change, "Idiot motorist is an idiot, injures pedestrian."

It's the same concept behind herd immunization.
Honestly, bumpy roads? Do you think Taber is more or less of a bumpy drive than this?:

Flash sums up and wins the thread with back-to-back posts right here. Some of these posts, especially from polak are so simple it hurts.
And to the guy who can't believe these could be used for the blind? Umm yeah, of course! They can also be great for the severely handicapped who can't get around,
it's freedom baby, yeah.
My mind immediately went to this video I watched days before.

Fredick Brennan has brittle bones disease and after watching that the sense of confinement and lack of a sense of freedom would terrify me. A driverless car would open the world to anyone with such a physical disability, the way it opened up the world to the rest of us when we were teenagers.
Instead of relying on a Handibus that may or may not show up, might show up and leave, might fault him for not being exactly on time, Brennan could have his own driveless car that his wheelchair could roll right into and strap in.
