In the United States, mobility is freedom. Today, nearly 100 million Americans do not drive. As the population ages, more will lose the ability to drive themselves safely.  Without mobility, quality of life declines. Yet public transportation of any type is available in less than 60 percent of counties and taxicabs are available in fewer areas—we need better mobility options for non-drivers. The good news on safety is that injury rates and fatality rates have been lowered through decades of engineering achievements applied to cars and roadways.  Now, just as advanced electronics are able to provide additional information to them, drivers are getting more distracted. Engineering improvements to cars and roadways will not be enough—we need better drivers. Making the local environment more available and safer is what BetterDrivers is all about.   Mobility is freedom and people are willing to pay for it. Thousands of lives can be saved and millions of injuries prevented every year. The technology is available to enable remote operation of private vehicles by qualified remote operators!   Mobility The BetterDrivers concept—driving services delivered by remote control—provides mobility for (a) millions of baby boomers who do not want to give up their cars, (b) people legally restricted from driving, and (c) people with disabilities.  BetterDrivers provides transportation on demand that is safe, comfortable, reliable, affordable, and private large public benefits by significantly reducing crashes, deaths, and injuries merit-based jobs for better drivers incentives for millions to improve their driving habits client fees that pay for infrastructure
