I would guess car rental companies would be a better first partner, they already put cameras in their car. A lot of the videos you see on youtube, with drivers crashing thanks to behaviour which could get them a Darwin award, are from rental cars.

Then they could partner with FedEx, UPS, or DHL.

Then car manufactures can put in optional parental override, but a better marketing name would be computer assist. Especially for old people, they wouldn't get computer override, they'd have computer assist.

And a few years after that, when the statistic are in and computer driven cars are much, much, much less likely to kill anyone then human driven cars. Even after you discount drivers under the influence. Then we'll see political pressure to have computer "assistance" in every car.
