Self-driving cars promise to revolutionize road safety and efficiency by addressing critical issues. With 5.3 million crashes and 32,367 deaths annually primarily caused by driver errors, autonomous vehicles could significantly reduce these numbers. Moreover, 90% of crashes result from human behavior. Self-driving technology could save 1.9 billion gallons of fuel and 5.5 billion hours wasted due to traffic accidents costing $100 billion. As regulations in states like Nevada and California begin to emerge, the future looks promising for safer, more efficient roads.
