We are having the students follow this bill. Would you put your child in a driverless car to go to soccer practice? This bill presents a lot of good conversation starters, and an opportunity for students to follow a bill that impacts them.

Impact on Children: 

We are very concerned with putting a child in a car without a seat belt, what about without a driver? This is an issue that needs to be studied dealing with the safety of our children.
