Unmanned Vehicles-Autonomous Cars

Still not believed in four-wheeled unmanned-autonomous four-wheeled vehicles

Many believe that, after electric technology, the future of global automotive is an autonomous system that makes 100 percent vehicleless for drivers. However, as autonomous development progresses, more and more problems arise, one of which is about public trust.

The automotive association in the UK, the Automobile Association, dismantles, the culture of society on conventional cars is really strong. It proves there is still a refusal of a person to drive without anyone holding the steering wheel.

The Automobile Association surveyed 21,000 drivers in the UK, with only 23 per cent saying they believed allowing vehicles to work alone to accompany them to their destination.

Although the rest (about 75 percent) admitted to not wanting to take their hands off the steering wheel, no matter how much compensation from insurance would be obtained for accidents and even though autonomous vehicles are capable of breaking traffic barriers.

Automobile Association president Edmund King said manufacturers should first win the hearts of drivers before mass-producing autonomous vehicles. The culture of the society that has long been established in four-wheeled vehicles is recommended not underestimated.

"Even with the development of ride hailing projects, the integration of autonomous cars, nearly half of them can't imagine when they give up their cars," King said.

Nine out of 10 drivers questioned said they did not believe a four-wheeled vehicle made the right decision when driving as it predicted certain things. However, they get advances in automotive technology as long as it doesn't eliminate completely human control.

The same survey also revealed 59 percent expect autonomous vehicles to have adaptive cruise control features and 58 percent want automatic emergency braking.

"Vehicles at this time are more or less the same for 100 years, but next decade we will see a lot of change from 50 years ago. There is no doubt technological advances can and will save lives and unlock mobility for the elderly, disabled, and young. There's still a lot of valuation around when, or how, consumers will get autonomous cars as they get older while loving their cars," King said.
