Autonomous Driving

This book looks at the latest advances in autonomous driving demonstrating that a future once considered science fiction is now close at hand. <br> Acceptance of driverless cars relies on more than just the technology that delivers it; in this book the authors consider the shift in attitudes required for social acceptance and a move towards considering cars one aspect of a wider mobility solution. In addition a clear demand is arising from gridlocked megacities across the globe. Autonomous driving offers a solution for the high pollution levels and management of the transport infrastructure where current methods are proving insufficient in places of high population density. <br> Having highlighted the need for driverless cars the book concludes with an ambitious agenda to ensure the successful delivery of autonomous driving. Political requirements including investment in a new infrastructure and a commitment to collaboration across borders factors in the ten-point plan for governments seeking to establish international leaders in the latest advances in mobility services. <br> From ethical considerations in the programming of automated driving procedures to changes in attitudes towards car ownership and design this title is a comprehensive look at the latest revolution in mobility.
