Social and Environmental Impacts of Driverless Cars

Abstract

The automotive industry is accustomed to adapting to manufacturing automation. New challenges for automotive production are emerging, due to automation. In this article, we talk about how fast such kinds of vehicles are advancing and adopting. We highlighted several themes related to autonomous vehicle use that we examined the advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars for individual road users. Referring to the opportunity of choosing the most appropriate vehicle for each trip was a relevant topic to discuss. We conveyed a small survey to reach spatiotemporal aspects of this topic. We provided an estimate of how long it will take to overcome several problems as well as examined driverless car predictions. As vehicles have potential benefits and costs. We examined how they affect travel activities and impact road, parking, and public transport planning. We concluded the topic with our thoughts that the advantages of self-driving cars far outweigh the disadvantages. This research opens several future research topics related to social, economic, and geographical matters of autonomous vehicles and technologies.
