> What if we required everyone who received a DUI to only operate self driving cars for a period of 2 years?

What if we required every car to have a breathalyzer ignition control?

We'd cut fatal crashes by a quarter, for far less then the cost of equipping every car with LIDAR.

For some reason, this idea never gets traction with the self-driving crowd. It may be because safety is not their first concern - watching Netflix while your car drives you around is.
