Yeah, humans are, on average, terrible drivers. Once autonomous vehicles exceed the capabilities of humans, human drivers should be phased out as quickly as possible. Muppets should never be allowed to drive.

Driving is also bad because carbon dioxide causes ocean acidification, which will accelerate once the calcium carbonate buffer runs out, causing the collapse of the marine food webs and the extinction of most life on earth. Also, particulate emissions from exhaust and tires give asthma, lung cancer, and allergies to children. All cars should categorically be banned from residential areas and the vicinity of schools.
