Driverless Vehicle industry: realities, bottlenecks and benefits.
Google self-driving car project |
When it comes to driverless vehicle,
the most exciting is the in-depth willingness to focus on the human wellbeing.
So, beyond the wider economic opportunities, and the
ongoing unmatched progress on the technological side; it is encouraging, to
talk about predictions; end-to-end security and car sharing; driverless
taxis and delivery vans; social mobility for kids, elderly, and impaired; cheaper
and smoother transportation; smart mega cities and sustainable development.
As you can imagine, we are still at the early stage of this industry and ABI
Research predicts shipments to increase from 1.1 million in 2024 to more than
42 million in 2035, with an installed driverless vehicle base reaching 176
million.
But it is obvious that a set of barriers remain. From user acceptance and security,
liability issues, and regulation, much remains to do with regard to user
experience, effectiveness and accuracy in technologies and data.
