The next step in road safety is driverless cars - Minister Chris Fearne - The Malta Independent

Most road accidents are caused by drivers' fatigue, poor driving judgement or speeding - with a driverless car this risk of this happening reduces. With the rise in artificial intelligence and technological revolutions, Minister of Health Chris Fearne noted that driverless cars are the right step towards increasing safety on the roads. Speaking during a Road Safety Conference in collaboration with WHO, held on The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, Fearne said that road traffic accidents are one of the highest causes of injury and death within the age groups 15-40. In The World Health Organization (WHO) region, in one hour 10 people die in road traffic accidents. Fearne said that such road accidents are preventable with the use of law enforcement and educational campaigns.
