Not restrict but regulate to still allow for development without endangering human control or over-reliance.

This kind of technology needs to be studied and advanced more before we consider this question.

No, the government should regulate the use of advanced technologies in vehicles in moderation in order to meet safety standards while remaining engaged in current technologies.

 @9VYQPBRfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Vehicles should remain human operated but advancements in camera technologies, mobile connectivity, sensors, etc. are fine.
