Autonomous Vehicles: Are We Ready for a Self-Driving Future?

The ascension of self-driving cars is new, changing up the automotive landscape and electric vehicle industry; one could imagine a future where autonomous vehicles are as ubiquitous as owning an iPhone. Despite the tech advances, major issues surrounding safety and infrastructure/regulatory frameworks have yet to be resolved. With global transportation systems on the verge of deploying this game changing tech, it imperative to try and answer whether we are ready for a self-driving future. Is this slow progress due to the fact that making a car autonomous clearly requires an innovation but also depends on government, industry & society readiness too?

Where Autonomous Vehicle Tech is Now

Few subjects inspire the imagination of car lovers these days as much as autonomous vehicles, which has all the world's major automakers and most tech companies hurrying to play catch-up. As the technology matures, there are a few new choices that look promising: Fast-charging electric vehicles with far better driver-assistance systems than we get today and fully autonomous prototypes. Yet, the adoption of autonomous vehicles demand advancement in technology and also solving key challenges surrounding safety along with regulation. This readiness of global infrastructure is a key as cities and countries reshape to accommodate this change.
