The Future of Autonomous Cars: Are We Ready?

The evolution of the automotive landscape is almost here, and this is the time when autonomous vehicles (AVs) are taking over, and they are nothing short of capable of writing history in the industry.

It’s been talked about a lot lately, but some might still wonder what exactly these self-driving cars are, how they work, and how they will impact our daily lives. One thing is assured, and that is the fact that they are definitely going to be an everyday reality and have come to stay.

History of Self Driving Cars

The concept of self-driving cars has been around for some time now; experts have been populating sci-fi visions of the future since the 1930s. However, now is when the technology is developing enough to make that dream a waking reality.

Although these dreams are becoming a reality, there are some setbacks attached to these autonomous-vehicle (AV) launches and delayed customer adoption. Despite these setbacks, the automotive community still agrees that autonomous driving (AD) has the full potential to transform transportation, consumer behavior, and even society at large.

It is because of this that autonomous driving could become capable of creating ripples in the industry and generating hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of this decade or even before.

What will ultimately be the benefits of these Self Driving Cars?

The first and foremost benefit of this would be improved safety. With the rising cases of deaths caused by road accidents, it was believed that if machines took over, they would eradicate human error. Let’s have a detailed look at all the benefits these self driving cars provide.

Say goodbye to road rage

When driving cars, we tend to get involved in tailgating and dangerous overtaking. What a driverless car would do here is make sure everyone who’s journeying remains stress-free, as road rage is the real deal to track, especially when driving on the highways.

Are there higher chances of lowering CO2 emissions now?

Automotive vehicles improve fuel efficiency, which is because the algorithms consider more efficient driving and hence deploy lighter weight vehicles due to a reduced risk of collision.

Autonomous driving has the potential to produce substantial value for drivers, the auto industry and society as a whole

Ever since autonomous driving became a thing, it has started revolutionizing consumers’ mobility experiences. It has, for the most part, not only made driving safer and more convenient, but it has also made it more enjoyable. AV could potentially increase worker productivity for employees with long commutes. It can also potentially improve mobility for elderly drivers by providing them better options compared to public transport or car-sharing services.

It also increases the safety factor, as one study shows the growing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems in Europe that have claimed to reduce the number of accidents by about 15 percent by 2030.

These days, most cars include only basic ADAS features; however, major advancements in AD capabilities are approaching. The growing demand in the industry is set to take on the world and build billions of dollars of revenue alongside it.

The cumulative effects of the advanced tyre and auto industry could possibly make a significant stride. For instance, with the reduced number of car accidents, Autonomous Driving technology could also restrict the number of consumers requiring roadside assistance and repairs.

With these consumer benefits, autonomous cars in Australia may also generate additional value for the auto industry. And when it comes to servicing look no further than experts themselves,
