The European Union wants elderly people (70+) to undergo medical tests from now on to prove that they are still capable of driving a car every five years. However, the proposal has been met with a lot of criticism.

    Not every old person has someone who would help them with that. May not be your experience, but it’s true nevertheless.

    Nevermind that it’s not a solution for people who can’t get into a car (people in wheelchairs for example).

    A self driving car then basically offers the same service as a taxi. And with a taxi you do not have to take care of the car (repairs, registration, etc).
