Driverless Cars: More than what meets the Eye [VIDEO]

Cars have always been around for years now and the future lies in the hands of driverless cars yet being driverless is only the beginning. There are more reasons to love these transportations of the future.

Our society has long been dependent on the four-wheel vehicles that are for family or business use and not much have changed in these cars but the introduction of driverless cars may very well spur us to the future. Fast Co. Design goes in-depth to talk about how the future of transportation being driverless is not yet the best thing but merely the tip of the iceberg. The cars we are so fondly using for our disposal will now have a fresh change.

However, there are still a whole lot of things that humanity needs to get used to before the transitions of regular cars to driverless cars. The presence of cars in our lives has reached centuries already and a vast majority already own cars. Sadly, the excess of these cars comes with a price. There are increasing reports on traffic congestion, vehicular accidents, high ownership costs, and pollution. Sure, there are positive aspects to owning a car yet there are also opposing factors to them.

The introduction of these driverless cars will have a profound effect on the society and according to the report, they say that driving will now become a pastime. The major transition of driverless cars will perhaps come from the fact that people, instead of paying for their own cars and choosing their car providers, will have to pay for service and experience. The start of Uber and other car services wherein the customers will merely contact to be able to get from point A to point B is already a good transition. This can help customers during rush hour when the search for parking space becomes a big issue in productivity.

Not only will these driverless cars offer convenience but they will also have comfort. Imagine just kicking back and relaxing, not having to worry about traffic or the road in front of you. How about travels outside the city? You get to enjoy the view as you travel and you can even feel rested and relaxed when you arrive in your destination.

Since there is a shift of car ownership to car rentals due to driverless cars, then it is very easy to modify the traffic. With the modified roads, there are many opportunities for upgrade and better infrastructures.

However, Phys.Org expresses concern for this innovation concerning driverless cars. Their article states that thousands of jobs will be lost because of this AI transportation idea. However, they did say that proper planning will lessen casualties in this transition. Therefore, here's to the future with driverless cars.
