Driverless Cars Are Further Away Than You Think
Putting your life in the hands of a robot chauffeur offers an unnerving glimpse into how driving is about to be upended. The automobile, which has followed a path of steady but slow technological evolution for the past 130 years, is on course to change dramatically in the next few years, in ways that could have radical economic, environmental, and social impacts.
The first autonomous systems, which are able to control steering, braking, and accelerating, are already starting to appear in cars; these systems require drivers to keep an eye on the road and hands on the wheel. But the next generation, such as BMW’s self-driving prototype, could be available in less than a decade and free…

On the future of transportation in an era of automated and autonomous vehicles
Current questions about AVs do not now revolve around whether such technologies should or should not be implemented; they are already with us. Rather, such questions are more and more focused on how such technologies will impact evolving transportation systems, our social world, and the individuals who live within it and whether such systems ought to be fully automated or remain under some form of direct human control.

How Autonomous Cars Could Disrupt Airlines, Hotels And Rental Agencies
Today's trinity of travel providers are airlines, hotels and the rental car industry. But a wave is gathering strength that will crash down upon each of them in the next few decades: the rise of autonomous vehicles. All three travel industries should survive, but each will have to change.
Self-driving cars will be a potent weapon to combat climate change
Although world leaders have reached a ‘historic’ agreement on climate change at the Paris Summit, good solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions remain hard to find. Fortunately – and counter-intuitively – self-driving cars have the potential to significantly reduce the ecological footprint of transportation...
The Future of Driving: The Impact of Driverless Transportation
We’ve all heard about Google’s self-driving car by now, but my favorite part of innovation is to consider the indirect and longer term effects that new technologies will have. In this blog post I will apply some basic principles to envision what a future crowded with self-driving vehicles can look like.
The future: Driverless cars and no traffic lights
Over the coming decades autonomous vehicles will fundamentally alter how people travel, and cities work. We are on the cusp of a paradigm shift that will play out over the next 30 years.
What are driverless transport systems ‘driving’ us towards? Sleep in the age of autonomous vehicles
There appears to be a growing cultural expectation that the development and uptake of driverless vehicle technologies will significantly transform many aspects of how people live their lives.
