Why self-driving cars (SDC) will be better

• It will take a lot of the stress out of driving in traffic.
• A computer can drive with more precision and react faster, preventing many accidents.
• An SDC will constantly be aware of the full 360 degree area around it.
• An SDC will be able to recognize when they're in someone's blind spot and adjust accordingly.
• SDCs can follow each other more closely, increasing the capacity of roads and freeways.
• SDCs will learn to recognize and avoid hitting pedestrians and cyclists.
• Accident rates and fatalities should plummet.
• The perils of drunk driving and distracted driving will become a thing of the past.
• Seniors will regain their personal mobility.
• A blind person would be able to own a car.
• Young people won't have to pay outrageous insurance rates anymore.
• Health and insurance costs should go down dramatically.
• SDCs should save fuel. SDC trains would create a slip-stream effect. Less drastic acceleration and braking uses less fuel. 
• Fewer stops and starts means less fuel.
• SDCs could communicate with each other and relay traffic conditions to oncoming cars to allow for dynamic re-routing.
• People who commute by car will gain hours each day to work, rest or enjoy multimedia.
• Car data could be used to efficiently manage traffic signals to synchronize the flow of traffic.
