Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles, or better known as self-driving vehicles, were once only believable in tales of science fiction. However, in our modern day and age with all our current technology, autonomous vehicles are no longer a fantasy gizmo from science fiction.

Tesla is a company who manufactures electronic items, such as electronic lighters, solar cells, and electronic cars. Tesla offers a range of self-driving, electric cars. Tesla is currently the leader in the autonomous vehicle industry, with more than 180,000 cars sold and on the road gathering data to aid in Teslas development of smarter self-driving cars.

What does this mean for the future of driving? Well, autonomous vehicles come with a range of problems, many of them are safety and security issues. Autonomous vehicles have yet to prove themselves 100% failsafe, with Uber recently taking down its autonomous vehicle test fleet after an accident in Arizona. These safety concerns, combined with car enthusiasts, are the main reasons autonomous vehicles will not take over manual driving vehicles anytime soon. Autonomous car manufacturers must figure out how to smooth out all safety issues with self-driving cars, as well as figure out a way to appeal to car enthusiasts who do not wish to give control over to a computer. Failing to do so will only spell the end of the brief autonomous vehicle period.
