Transportation is evolving with autonomous vehicles from "summary" of The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross
The way we move people and things around is on the cusp of a significant transformation. The rise of autonomous vehicles is set to revolutionize the transportation sector. These vehicles have the potential to enhance safety, efficiency, and accessibility in ways we have never seen before. Autonomous vehicles can operate without human drivers, relying instead on a complex system of sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence. This technology allows these vehicles to navigate roads, interpret traffic signals, and react to changing road conditions autonomously. As a result, they have the potential to reduce accidents caused by human error, which account for a significant portion of road fatalities. In addition to improving safety, autonomous vehicles have the potential to increase efficiency in transportation. These vehicles can communicate with each other and with infrastructure, optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion. They can also be used ...
