The Pros Of An Automated Future In Driving
As if we are finally seeing the vision out parents and grandparents had of the “World Of Tomorrow” self-driving, “smart” cars are finally preparing to exit their concept stage and creep into the world of consumer availability. While the jury is still out on how well-regulated smart cars will need to be, the eagerness to own one among industry buffs and your every-day consumer is growing with each new statistic, report and feature touted by manufacturers. While one could spend nearly a week going over each of the intricate details and features vendors wish to promote, a primer on the overall positive experience of a smart car-ubiquitous world is something that needs to be considered.

Eliminating human error from driving may provide a sharp decrease in accidents towards both other drives and pedestrians.
Possibility of making drastic changes to several economies centered around auto travel. Industries such as taxis, public transportation and even freight are suspect to this, as heavy players in the industry and start-ups will not need to factor in costs of keeping their transport fleet under human operation, with greater efficiency and less costs.
Lessening of road congestion, especially in larger cities such as Los Angeles and New York, which are often inundated with auto-traffic to the point where public transport is far more practical. If less people spend less time in traffic burning gas unnecessarily, this would do a great service for the environment and the nation-wide effort for a cleaner, greener …show more content…
Though this will not be the auto-epiphany we are expecting, as it will take time for our current consumer market to fully embrace and integrate, especially given then expected high-costs of initial cars, similar to what happened when hybrid vehicles first hit the market over a decade ago. Societal changes would include:
Consumer demand will be inevitable. Once the concept has been made available for the consumer market, it will only grow with time as the technology costs lests, demand increases and concessions need to me made to allow more end users on the roads, thus kickstarting the benefits listed above.
With the ever growing concern over smart vehicles being hacked or having “control” wrested from the occupant, this will only drive the tech industry to come up with more safeguards against this, which will only benefit our technological and network-based security solutions over a wide range of other consumer products and industries. The fear is real, but so is the opportunity to suppress it across the
