Long Response:

Read the story on page A7 "An ordinary, extraordinary first drive with the car in control"

This story talks about cars that drive themselves instead of you driving. This is helpful for the people that can drive because of a disability, or a condition. I'm not sure if I feel safe in a driverless car, machines break all of the time but for people who can't do it I think that would be nice for them instead of everyone using them because they are too lazy. I feel that it should be used for someone who needs it, or if its an emergency, otherwise you can just drive yourself it probably doesn't make much of a difference. Even if this starts to happen more and more I think that everyone should still be required to learn how to drive. But no matter what I think eventually self driving cars will be normal everyday and hover-cars,  or floating cars will be developing.
