Proponents argue autonomous vehicles (AVs) will change the daily lives of commuters around the world, guaranteeing safer, more efficient and reliable transit networks. Reaching this future though has proven a hard and gruelling slog.
In today’s sector, more companies are looking to test their set-ups against increasingly complex road situations with a particular focus on public deployment. It is vital as ambition grows that these innovators balance innovation with safety or else they risk alienating the public from a potentially revolutionary technology.
