Self-Driving Car Completes Drive Across America 99% Autonomously

Think of the freedom it’ll make for people like me, who have panic attacks when it comes to stuff like driving.

People who lack the ability to handle cars, something I think a lot of people take for granted, would finally be that much more independent.
