Legislation
Perhaps the biggest barrier to wide-spread adoption to Driverless Cars and AV’s is legislation. The considerations to made when adapting legislation, including tax revenues, are monumental compared to the current state.
By 2030, Driving Will Be Illegal. Here’s why…
This article was originally posted on True Activist. Human driving error is responsible for 94% of all crashes across the globe; technology can fix this. You might enjoy the thrill of racing down the freeway or being able to hop in your car and head “nowhere” whenever you please, but alphr shares a pretty convincing argument as to why, someday in the future, driving will be illegal. The site shares, and Upriser summarizes, that by the year 2030, the economy will be severely impacted by the millions of truck drivers, cabbies, and delivery...

This article is on smithonianmag.com WILL HISTORY REPEAT? When you visit any city in America today, it’s a sea of cars, with pedestrians dodging between the speeding autos. It’s almost hard to imagine now, but in the late 1890s, the situation was completely reversed. Pedestrians dominated the roads, and cars were the rare, tentative interlopers. Horse-drawn carriages and streetcars existed, but they were comparatively slow. So pedestrians ruled. “The streets were absolutely black with people,” as one observer described the view in the...

This article is on Auto Express. UK politicians are all aboard for the autonomous car revolution but what should you know about driverless cars now? The UK Government is frequently criticised for being slow, cumbersome and paralysed by red tape, but its desire to make the UK the global centre for autonomous car technology is a far cry from that. Just six months ago, ministers announced £19 million would be ploughed into driverless car research, and we have three working prototypes that will begin testing this year. There’s also an...

This article is on International Business Times. With both Apple and Google now working on autonomous vehicle technology, self-driving cars could mean much safer driving and less accidents, but it could also mean that local governments would lose one key source of income – parking tickets. Researchers from the Brookings Institution at Arizona State University have pointed out in a recent report that while emerging technologies such as ‘the Internet of Things’ and Smart Cities could potentially be very useful to local governance,...

Read full report on KPMG The conversion to autonomous vehicles (AV) may bring about the most significant change to the automobile insurance industry since its inception. As the way we drive and commute transforms, the amount, types, and purchase of automobile insurance will be impacted. The disruption to insurers may be profound, and the change could happen faster than most expect. The automotive and tech industries are confident in the future of autonomous vehicles, a new study found, with many automakers and suppliers thinking that many...

Read the full article on Science News. The computer brains inside autonomous vehicles will be fast enough to make life-or-death decisions. But should they? A bioethicist weighs in on a thorny problem of the dawning robot age. Imagine you are in charge of the switch on a trolley track. The express is due any minute; but as you glance down the line you see a school bus, filled with children, stalled at the level crossing. No problem; that’s why you have this switch. But on the alternate track there’s more trouble: Your child, who...

The autonomous cars are coming. They are no longer science fiction, the future is here! As old vehicles phase their way out and technology eases their way in, we only have one question: how much is this technology going to save us?

This article originally posted on CBS Local San Francisco. I have spent quite a bit of time lately thinking about autonomous cars, and I wanted to summarize my current thoughts and predictions. Most people – experts included – seem to think that the transition to driverless vehicles will come slowly over the coming few decades, and that large hurdles exist for widespread adoption. I believe that this is significant underestimation. Autonomous cars will be commonplace by 2025 and have a near monopoly by 2030, and the sweeping change they bring...
read moreWhen will you be able to buy a driverless car?
The original Blog you can find on MojoMotors There are a lot of different predictions around when the average person will actually be able to buy a self-driving car. Some automakers are already selling cars with self-driving technology. Others are predicting they will have a full lineup of self-driving cars in just over a decade. So how realistic are these predictions? The march towards autonomous cars is inevitable, but the obstacles facing the automotive industry before driverless cars reach consumers are immense. These obstacles include...

Read full report on EY Over the past 24 months, almost every major vehicle manufacturer, supplier and technology company has announced projects or collaborations around the autonomous vehicles (AVs) theme. While the notion of AVs has been alive for some time through science ction and various media, the urgency to make them a reality has gathered pace as companies outside the auto industry have illustrated the feasibility and benets that self-driving vehicles present. The deployment of AVs today is less about technological capabilities and...
