ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. ABOUT. SELF-DRIVING CARS—Well Maybe. Not
Well the latest poll results are out and ...some percentage of the population somewhere don’t trust autonomous vehicles.
Car l company X makes outrageous claims about when they. Will have. “Fully” self-driving cars on the road.
These are the answers to a couple of questions that keep recurring in the news or on Google Alerts. Therefore if you sign up. For these alerts you will be able to answer these questions. There’s only one thing wrong with that logic. Actually there is more than one thing wrong. Let’s. Explore this further.
How many. People reading this know when the first Model. T. Came off the assembly line? When did these cars hit the streets in let’s say New York or Atlanta? How many people know the answer to these questions? I bet very few. Why? Because it’s not important.
Which. Cart/vehicle makers are not involved in developing new technology? Well it seems like any company wishing. To sell cars in the coming decades always have something in development—right? This is certainly the case. For electronic and autonomous vehicles. So everyone is making them.
If the questions of who is making them and exactly when they will be here are. Not that important and history seems to tell us this, what are the real questions to be aware of and putting attention to?
It k seems far important. To. Answer the questions of where, how, and Who
Some of these vehicles are already on the streets and functioning because some companies decided there product would work in a given situation. They have decided that their sensors could be relied. Upon to navigate in certain cities and under certain weather conditions. Many companies. Have selected a pre-determined route for these vehicles using them as shuttle busses or connectors. Between. Other forms of transit. Almost by default. They have decided. Who will have access to this form of transportation.
My question is—Can we trust the car makers to fully. Consider the greatest level of transportation and mobility need and work from there? If not, the “who” question. Wil be answered with a simple answer. “We don’t care if people with disabilities and seniors are left behind again. We don’t. Care especially. If these folks live in. Rural areas. Of small towns and if it snows there—well don’t expect us to worry about you. Reading six or seven and sometimes more news reports every day, I still haven’t seen the questions about access answered in Aires’s release from any major manufacturer . Do some of the cars/vans/shuttles have accessible features? Yes a few do, however if I’m the average citizen or a family member of a person with a disability how will know if the self-driving.car can really be and opgtion? So finally...
Why are we moving toward these types of transportation?
Our current patchwork, developed without a unified landing process is ineffective. This is another way—for. What we pay our “system” sucks for many people and we have finally realized we have to change.
Why not include more of the people who rate adversely impacted by. The current system being brought. I got the arena.
Would t help if the press quit ansing. The rollout time and quit worrying about whose doing what. To gain. More market share. It’s time to. Ask who gets to determine how these. New options will serve our purposes and needs. Come on car makers and reporters you know these are the real questions— can we starts seeing some real answers?
