Reading: “Self-driving cars will take a while to get right” by Jack Stilgoe (online Nature article available here)
Cars cause thousands of deaths and injuries on the road each year, and many blame human error of drivers for this needless loss of life.

This short, 2-page reading from Jack Stilgoe explores these questions and more. We welcome anyone who’s interested in the consequences of self-driving cars on society!
