The arrival of autonomous driving car full of temptation, just as the transition to a manual transmission car from automatic, technology brings convenience is obvious. Since then, the way you drive to work will have more private space, efficiency becomes higher, you can read a newspaper at breakfast in the car. This is like the car and rolled into the subway.
If the car can drive their own, so why let them all day or all night lying on the parking spaces? Just as some people suggest that you have a car, it can not only carry you to work, in another time, your car can run around, transporting other passengers, which can greatly save our city increasingly valuable land resources. A car during the day idle most of the time, not only inefficient, it seems a very wasteful thing.
We are currently on the car are mostly based on the concept of personal or family: it is a private transport with a single ownership. But self-driving cars, transportation and commuting is largely considered to be an interconnected system, the car is moving on the streets in our tools when needed we can jump. Therefore, existing between the public and private transportation may begin to clear boundaries become blurred. Similarly, many urban congestion encountered difficulties may thus be alleviated because the car will be able to have a minimum impact on the premise of risk by more closely. Driving a car will not only change their own personal driving style, may also fundamentally change public transportation.
Based on self-driving car sales and supervision of its ease of use and convenience will actually encourage urban sprawl, because the short trip than it is now much easier. The current economic and environmental pressures spawned a dense, walkable neighborhoods, this may become autonomous driving age is facing another problem.
According Kero Throttle Body aware, autonomous driving a car far from a simple new jewelry, it will control predecessors like humans have a profound impact, it will affect the culture, urban design, environmental and other aspects. At this point, we have to remind ourselves that the new technology does not just help us achieve both goals (eg to go to the supermarket or to commute to work) tool. They are associated with the new ways of the world, or to change our space, urban design or transport habitual thinking.
Driving a car is no longer independent company Google's pet project, like many other companies such as Mercedes-Benz is also fully developed solutions related technology has been rapid development. Development of autonomous driving technology most urgent reason: there are more than one million people worldwide each year die from traffic accidents. In Canada, seriously injured nearly half of patients caused by vehicles. Meanwhile, the widespread use of fossil fuels, continuing threat to the national and economic stability. And our current car culture, and environmental protection as well as incompatible with the ideal of harm reduction. |
