It is difficult to understand why so many companies are wasting money on driverless cars. 

I do not believe that 14-, 15- or 16-year-old future drivers want to get into a car and have the car drive for them. 

These drivers aspire to get behind the wheel and drive.

It is a goal that companies believe these cars will prevent accidents. 

I may be old school and do not believe roads will be safer without thinking people behind the wheel.
