I got my driver license on Christmas 96'.
Being able to play a CD of the Beatles in my mom's old Subaru, seemed like a cutting-edge technology back then.
Hardly had I known that 18 years later, cars will drive themselves.
I spent a lot of time and money on my driving lessons. But hearing that companies like Tesla and Otto and Uber and Google are developing self-driving cars – well, that actually makes me really happy.
To be even more accurate, in 2013 alone, the number was 1.25 Million.
How crazy is that??!
Not that it is a car's purpose – killing people – but what can you do – driving is dangerous. And being a pedestrian or a bike rider is even more dangerous.
It's actually the only one between the top 10 causes of deaths that is not health-related. So you can die of AIDS, a heart disease or diabetes, but not so less likely you can die because of cars.
And self-driving cars will fix a lot of issues that we have in the world right now. For example – you won't need insurance when robots are driving them. So car insurance companies are going to have a really bad time.
