Potential impacts of self-driving carsIn the short term, the future of autonomous-vehicle technology is hard to unravel, but two reports (…AccessScience Editors
While driverless cars have been lauded as innovations that will cut down on road accidents, traffic time, and the hassle of driving, for every good thing, there are always unintended negative consequences. Here, we consider some possible negative impacts of driverless cars, from unemployed drivers ...
Because the number of car crashes will almost certainly fall with self-driving cars, the production of safety equipment and vehicle testing should decrease as well. The newer vehicles may also boast ofmore efficient fuel economy.They’re designed to be more aerodynamic and programmed to take the ...
The real-world environmental impacts of automated cars While we and other researchers havepredicted these outcomes through modeling, no one has been able to verify them because fully automated vehicles aren’t commercially available yet. We found two innovative ways to use currently available t...
committing to providing only shared passenger services. That makes sense; after all, the available market for their products is far greater if self-driving cars are individually owned. And research suggests that private ownership of AVs isprecisely what most people want—societal impacts ...
Technological advancements in GPS, digital mapping, computing power, and sensor systems have finally made it a reality. But what are the potential impacts of driverless cars on the car industry and the larger economy? Key Takeaways The widespread adoption of driverless cars has the potential to ...
We're not referring to that of noxious driver that you just cut off. Jerk is the rate of change of acceleration with respect to time, or the third derivative of position. The jerk along the car's trajectory greatly impacts the user's comfort while in the car. So when planning our velo...
Impacts on the Future of Autonomous Cars I have exposed a whole bunch of quandaries here for both Carempties and Carelesses. None rise to the moral level of the so called trolley problem (do I kill the one nun or seven robbers?) but unlike the trolley problem variants of these edge case...
However, up to our knowledge, they have not covered the real attacks already happened in self-driving cars. To bridge this research gap, in this paper, we analyze the attacks that already targeted self-driving cars and extensively present potential cyber-attacks and their impacts on those cars...
Imperial researchers have simulated self-driving fleet impacts using real-world data, providing suggestions for their optimal deployment in cities. The simulationsshow the potential impactof fleets of autonomous vehicles (AV) on congestion, emissions,public transportand ride-sharing services. ...
