Driverless
Vehicles
Not Ready for Primetime!
“Despite their potential to make our roads safer in the long run, consumers have high expectations for safety,” Greg Brannon, AAA’s director of automotive engineering and industry relations, said in a statement. “Our results show that any incident involving an autonomous vehicle is likely to shake consumer trust, which is a critical component to the widespread acceptance of autonomous vehicles.”
DYI: Driverless cars or small buses will first be
used within closed circuit courses that have low traffic density and much lower
speed such as Universities, Colleges, hospitals, military bases etc. This will be a live testing site in order to
work the bugs out until moving up to larger buses such as those used in metropolitan
cities. This will not be revolutionary
it will be evolutionary moving one step at a time in complexity and
safety. Once driverless vehicles are perceived
as substantially safer than with a
driver; only then will the growth phase kick into high gear for retail
ownership and rental companies. So far I’ve
not come across any institution with working driverless vehicles until that
happens these companies are still in the prototype experimental stage.
