Problem 3

Education

The future scene state that the driverless car will seamlessly take control of the driver at times. This may pose a problem as some people would not feel safe in letting a machine take their lives in its hands, as they would not want the responsibility to be placed in lines of code. This may cause a decrease in the number of people who use these autonomous cars, which might cause a loss in this business.

Research:

1. In a British survey this year, almost half of consumers wouldn’t want to be a passenger in such a vehicle, and 43 per cent wouldn’t trust it to drive safely, according to the research commissioned by uSwitch.com. And 16% of people are “horrified” by the idea of being driven in one.
