Autonomous Vehicles

E-Book


Elon Musk thought that his company Tesla will have fully autonomous cars ready by the end of 2020. "There are no fundamental challenges left," he said recently. "There are a number of minor issues. And then there's a struggle to solve all these little problems and bring the whole thing together."

Although the technology to allow a car to complete a journey without human interference (what the industry calls "level 5 autonomy") can move quickly, the development of a vehicle that can do so safely and legally is another matter.

The novelty of autonomous technology is intended to turn our legal and social ties into daily transport. Importantly, without a driver behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles raise concerns about the liability and responsibility for the conduct of the lane.

Therefore, this book is structured to answer many questions about autonomous vehicles and make you not only understand all the aspects of this emerging technology, but master the discussions and debates about the following topics:

How are AVs safely sharing the road with human drivers?

01 Safe distance: Don't hit the car in front of you

02 Cutting in: Don't cut it in recklessly

03 Right of Way: Right of way is given, not taken

04 Limited Visibility: Be cautious in areas with limited visibility

05 Avoid Crashes: If you can avoid a crash without causing another one, you must
