Positive Side
- Parking becomes easy.
- Old age people who cannot drive can use these vehicles to go to places.
- Accidents occur way less, as set algorithms and sensors in the car detect problems.
- Causes fewer traffic jams, as it has certain features which allow the vehicle to brake and accelerate simultaneously.
The Flip Side
- They are very expensive.
- Safety concerns, because no matter how high-tech it is, it is nothing but a machine created by humans. Nobody knows when there might be a technical glitch in the vehicle.
- Can be hacked. As these high-tech vehicles need your basic information to work, it stores your data, which can be easily hacked.
- Sensor failures are the most common reason that causes accidents in self-driven cars. It often happens during bad weather, like heavy rainfall or snowfall.
Conclusion
We are at a stage of innovation, where we have to be careful as to what we trust and what we don’t. When we speak about brands like Tesla, we can say that Tesla has proven to be successful in almost all car crash tests, and even the company itself guarantees safety. But at the end of the day, we are the ones that’ll decide the future of self-driving cars in this world.
According to surveys and research, it is too early to say whether these vehicles are a success or not. So far, it is undetermined whether they eliminate car crashes or contribute to them.
