Are Self-Driving Cars Safe? Exploring the Future of Autonomous Tech
In this episode of Engineering Emotions and Energy, Justin dives into a key question: Are self-driving cars safe? With the rise of autonomous vehicles in cities like San Francisco and the emergence of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as Tesla’s full self-driving, we are on the cusp of a major transportation shift. Justin discusses the pros and cons of different levels of autonomous tech, from semi-automated systems to completely driverless cars like Waymo and Cruise. How will these innovations shape our future? And what risks might they pose? Listen as Justin, with his personal experiences and engineering expertise, breaks down the challenges, benefits, and societal impact of autonomous vehicles.
- Introduction to the Safety Debate: Why self-driving cars raise questions about safety, and why this topic is important now.
- Types of Autonomous Systems: From ADAS like Tesla’s supervised full self-driving to fully autonomous vehicles like Waymo and Cruise.
- The Future of Driving: How autonomous vehicles could replace human drivers in the coming decades, much like cars replaced horse-drawn carriages.
- Ethical Considerations: Exploring the “trolley problem” in autonomous driving—how should AI choose between lives in dangerous situations?
- Autonomous Transit: The potential benefits of self-driving buses and trains, and the safety concerns that come with removing human operators.
