The shameful part is human beings have the ability to drive very well if they choose to do so. However reckless speeding, tailgating, driving intoxicated, and other forms of reckless driving is a constant on the roads. Cops seem to do little to stop it. Instead we must capitulate driving to a machine because people cant be trusted to be courteous to each other.
