Everyone keeps saying no in this thread, but I trust that it will be a better driver than my 80 year old grandpa who can't see 10 feet busy still manages to retain their drivers license.

It's okay to say "No" to two things at the same time without having to choose one or the other.

Except that in this case, one might prevent/reduce the other. There is a certain amount of mutual exclusivity here. We can't take drivers licenses away from old people, but we might be able to get them in an autonomous car.
