How can self-driving cars prevent accidents?
What helps self-driving cars to prevent car accidents? I don’t totally understand how they work and they kind of scare me! Are they really safe?

fall asleep
, text and drive, etc. so they’re able to avoid accidents that a distracted human might not.With that being said, however, it’s still important to pay attention to the road when you’re behind the wheel of a self-driving car. While self-driving cars are definitely safer in some ways, the sensors can still make mistakes that can lead to accidents.
