Imagine a long line of self-driving cars. You hop inside one. Behind you, 47 of your friends hop into 47 other self-driving cars. And you’re off!

These cars have been driving around California since September. The public is wondering: Are they safer than regular cars?

It depends on how you look at it. Since September, four of the cars have gotten into accidents. That seems like a lot. But during two of the accidents, the car wasn’t in self-driving mode. The person inside controlled it.

Are self-driving cars a blessing from God that will make us safer? Only time will tell.
