Are you ready to trust to autonomous cars?

The future has already come. One of the hottest topics in the automotive world today is the advent of unmanned vehicles. These cars conceal a huge potential, but there are also many questions about their safety. It is huge funds invested in the development of such cars. Among the developers of the autonomous cars are such big names as Alphabet, Tesla, Uber, GM, Ford, even Apple, and Google. It is considered that autonomous cars are the future. The next industrial revolution is coming with their appearance. What will change with the advent of such cars? First of all, it will lead to the loss of jobs in some areas. Such professions as a taxi driver and truck driver will not be relevant, they will be completely replaced by driverless cars. At the same time, the price of transported goods will significantly decrease, since it will be not necessary to spend money on drivers' salaries. It is considered that the human factor eliminating will reduce the number of accidents. That will lead to a reduction in the number of highway patrol employees. The insurers will have to re-qualify also - their income will be significantly reduced due to low accidents on the roads.

As expected, there will be more than 20 million autonomous cars on the roads by 2035. To get this scenario, it is necessary to provide cars with a high-speed network connection with minimal information transmission delays, which is expected in the 5G network. It is also necessary to provide cars with high precision maps because an autonomous car must know its location very precisely and handle the out of sight situation to respond to the traffic situation in time. Remote guided vehicles will need to share the road with people in the next 20 years, so each of those cars must take into account the unpredictability of each person. The appearance of autonomous cars places a responsibility to us for solving some moral aspects. For example, how should a car behave in a critical situation? Should autonomous cars sacrifice a passenger to save more pedestrians or should it protect the passenger at all costs? There are also many legislative gaps and cybersecurity questions in this area.
