This article original posted on digitaltrends.com There are plenty of stories about the work being done to develop a truly autonomous car. For the most part, we focus on the technology – the radar, the cameras, and the software that will pull it all together. There’s no doubt that the result will be life-changing, not only for those who can’t drive a conventional car but for all of us. But the shock waves of this disruptive technology will shake the world in more ways than one, and the technical work moving forward at automakers today has the...
read moreSelf-driving cars just had one of their best months yet
This article original posted on theverge.com ‘Autonomous vehicles are moving from their infancy into their adolescence.’ For most people, self-driving cars are just an abstraction, something they read about occasionally in the press but still consider a far-off, futuristic fantasy. They read the headlines and scoff, “Not in my lifetime.” But the events of this past month may help put a lot of that skepticism to rest. There was a flurry of activity in both Congress and the private sector over the past few weeks, signaling a key shift in the...
read moreCould autonomous vehicles cause an economic disaster?
This article original posted on around.uoregon.edu In the near future, it’s likely that Uber and Lyft become the main means of transportation around a city — but there won’t be anyone in the driver’s seat. In the big picture, that translates to 5 million transportation workers who are no longer employed. That’s some of what was discussed at Urbanism Next, a workshop sponsored by UO Portland and the Sustainable Cities Initiative, at the White Stag Building on April 24. More than 60 urban designers, architects, city planners,...

This article original posted on nbcnews.com Crawling through rush hour traffic is probably the last thing you’re looking forward to on a Monday. So how about tapping an app on your smartphone and heading out the door and into a new Mercedes-Benz robo-cab? That’s the vision behind a new joint venture between Mercedes’ parent Daimler AG and German auto supplier Bosch. The project, announced earlier this week, is aimed at putting fully driverless cabs on the road by 2021, the partners explaining that, “The idea… is that...

This article original posted on forbes.com Given the advanced state of driverless technologies and the amount of money being poured into the sector, there is little question—make that, no question at all—that within 10 years, driverless cars will be the norm. The implications are immense and widespread. There are currently about 1.4 billion cars on the road. Many of those cars, and eventually all, are going to be replaced by self-driving vehicles. Car sharing is already growing in popularity. When getting a ride someplace is as easy and...

This article original posted on the drive.com “Currently, only about one-fifth of drivers say they would buy an autonomous car as soon as one is available and fewer than one-third say they would be comfortable riding in one.” That’s according to a new statement by the Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA), who on February 3 issued its first “Spotlight” covering autonomous vehicles, titled Autonomous Vehicles Meet Human Drivers: Traffic Safety Issues for States. The report examines self-driving...
read moreSelf-driving vehicles as instruments for the coordination of mobility
This article original posted on driverless-future.com Autonomous cars will change the way we think about traffic. Today traffic is primarily regarded as the result of the independent actions of thousands of drivers. A view from above on any city would show large numbers of vehicles pursuing their own trajectories through the maze of roads. The cities’ traffic management systems try their best to observe, identify and somewhat channel the grand flows. At first glance, autonomous vehicles do not seem to change this situation very much. From...
