Impact of autonomous vehicles (2018x18)

: 05, 2018

In the first known fatal accident involving an autonomous vehicle, a car from Uber's self-driving test program struck and killed a pedestrian on March 19. The accident highlights concerns over safety regulations and it could alter the behaviour of designers, lawmakers and public opinion, which could contribute to the delay in the development of automated technology. However, the mainstream adoption of autonomous vehicles is inevitable, and it will profoundly change the workplace, transportation and society as a whole.
