We got self driving cars on the way right? Make populated city centers mandatory automated drive zones.

In the meantime, bollards. Maybe we can patch cars with cpus to monitor the acceleration, speed, and direction of cars in relation to their surroundings and autobrake and turn off. Maybe lock the seatbelt too. At least cars available in rental agencies can be targetted first as we move to remove fuel inefficienicent cars from the marketplace.

And while I'm in dreamland we could abolish the dealership method of distribution to combat inflated costs of vehicles, offset the costs of new safety features, and combat predatory lending.

Finally, we could instead institute background checks and mental fitness tests in addition to driver competency to obtain a drivers licence. This idea would need more massaging.

Car enthusiasts may object to mandatory autopilot. But to a person i sincerely ask, who actually likes city driving.
