Long Response
1. The article is about a legally blind person who rode in a self driving car a couple years ago. The car was designed by Google and is able to pick up small details like a biker's hand signals, or stop for pedestrians big and small. Many people in America have a disability and these cars can help them.
2. People with a disability like hearing loss or blindness can benefit from a driverless car. They could also benefit people with a physical disability that has stopped them from being able to drive in the past.
3. I would be a little worried if there were driverless cars on the road with me because just reading about them does make me trust their safety 100%. I would be scared that something woudl go wrong with the car and other people as well as the passenger could be in danger. If I wasn't able to drive I think I could get used to being in a vehicle that doesn't require a driver if I rode in it a lot.
4. I'm not sure what the next tech innovation for transportation will be for cars after the driverless car is perfected but it definitely won't stop with there.
