Why Autonomous vehicles are the future?

If the technology can catch up with the promise, AVs have the potential to eliminate most traffic accidents – but first they’ll need to rely on a self-driving system that can perceive the road better than the best human driver. In the future, autonomous cars are likely to generate more than 300 TB of data per year.

Who are the major players in the development of autonomous technology?

Major players in the autonomous cars market are BMW Group, Tesla Inc., Ford Motor Company, General Motor Company, Nissan Motor Corporation, Daimler AG, Toyota Motor Corporation, Volkswagen AG, Volvo Group and Waymo LLC.

Why is autonomous vehicles important?

What are the safety benefits of automated vehicles? Automated vehicles and driver assisting technologies (including those already in use on the roads) have the potential to reduce crashes, prevent injuries, and save lives. Of all serious motor vehicle crashes, 94 percent are due to human error or choices.

What is autonomous vehicle technology?

An autonomous car is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operating without human involvement. A human passenger is not required to take control of the vehicle at any time, nor is a human passenger required to be present in the vehicle at all.

What are the advantages of driverless cars?

The benefits

• Greatly improved safety: 94\% of accidents are caused by human error.
• Improved transport interconnectivity.
• Reduced congestion: Congestion will cost NSW $6.9 billion in 2017.
• Reduced pollution and emissions: Reducing transport energy consumption by up to 90\%

Why should driverless cars be allowed?

Driverless cars could reduce vehicular deaths and bring these totals down. Autonomous cars could save people time by improving the flow of traffic and allowing passengers to make phone calls, read, or catch up on work. Widespread adoption of autonomous cars would also mean that speed limits could be raised.
