Do you think driverless cars are a good idea?

Automation can help reduce the number of crashes on our roads. Government data identifies driver behavior or error as a factor in 94 percent of crashes, and self-driving vehicles can help reduce driver error. Higher levels of autonomy have the potential to reduce risky and dangerous driver behaviors.

What are some of the concerns about driverless cars?

A fully autonomous car needs a set of sensors that accurately detect objects, distance, speed and so on under all conditions and environments, without a human needing to intervene. Lousy weather, heavy traffic, roads signs with graffiti on them can all negatively impact the accuracy of sensing capability.

Do you think self-driving cars are safe please explain your answer?

Decreased instances of impaired driving, as self-driving cars will reduce the risk of alcohol or drug impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel of a conventional vehicle. Some studies are showing that autonomous vehicles are already out performing human-driven vehicles in terms of safety.

Would you trust a self-driving car?

Self-driving cars are having a really rough time gaining our trust. Nearly 3 in 4 Americans say autonomous vehicle technology “is not ready for primetime.” About 48 percent said they would never get in a taxi or ride-sharing vehicle that was self-driving. Another 20 percent think autonomous vehicles will never be safe.
