What about more public transportation options? More telecommuting to reduce the number of vehicles on the road? Raising the age at which people can obtain a license? Requiring equipment that prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver has been drinking?

Autonomous vehicles will come, but not anytime soon. They will be extremely complex and expensive machines that will take decades to produce. Cars are fairly safe, its the drivers that are the problem.
