According to the World Health Organisation, around 1.3 million people die on the road every year. Inevitably, most if not all of these deaths can be attributed to human error.
Unlike humans, machines do not get tired, lazy or display bad driving behavior. Machines can operate at peak performance for days and weeks, unlike human drivers who might get tired after just one hour of driving.
Automation streamlines processes, making things easier for users as they have less things to worry and think about. Take for example the next generation electronic road pricing system, which operates based on distance travelled rather than gantries crossed. This leads to more efficient road use, resulting in lower road congestion and safer roads for all.
