Aviation, Travel and Tourism

Are autonomous cars really safer than human drivers?

Smashed vehicles await assistance as dozens of flipped-over cars, jack-knifed tractor-trailers and vehicles skidded off the Pennsylvania Turnpike during the morning commute, shutting down the major thoroughfare near the Bensalem interchange in Pennsylvania, February 14, 2014. The U.S. East Coast dug out on Friday from the final wallop of a deadly four-day storm that dumped more than two feet of snow in some places and made a mess of the morning commute, triggering crashes of up to 100 vehicles in Pennsylvania.
