Government data identifies driver behavior or error as a factor in 94 percent of crashes, and self-driving vehicles can help to eliminate these problems. The greatest promise may be reducing the devastation of impaired driving, drugged driving, unbelted vehicle occupants, speeding and distraction. Senior people and people with disabilities are capable of self-sufficiency, and highly automated vehicles can help them live the life they want. The autonomous vehicle can help avoid the costs of crashes, including medical bills, lost work time, vehicle repair and costs of insurance. An autonomous vehicle could offer the convenience of dropping vehicle occupants at their destination. The reduction in congestion will most likely result in a reduction of CO2 emissions as well. Research from the State Smart Transportation Initiative (SSTI) shows the potential for autonomous vehicles could increase highway capacity by 100 percent and increase expressway travel speeds by more than 20 percent.
