Autonomous Vehicles: Are they Safe?
Many believe that autonomous, self-driving or robotic vehicles are the future of the automobile industry and a source of profit for the ride-sharing industry. Some proponents of autonomous vehicles (AVs) argue that these vehicles will increase safety, lower insurance rates, reduce crime, improve traffic flow and so on. Others, such as Solomon, are aware that “Autopilot controls are not yet fully capable of functioning without human intervention – but they’re good enough to lull us into a false sense of security.”
