Why Driverless Cars Will Screech to a Halt
" Think about it: Every driver makes hundreds of daily driving decisions
that, strictly speaking, break driving laws (for example, crossing the
yellow line to pull around a double-parked vehicle). It all works out
fine because of something called “human judgment.” But what company is
going to program its driverless cars to break the law? And what regulators will approve that product, knowing that it has been programmed to break the law?
Not surprisingly, a survey by IEEE, a technical professional
organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, of more
than 200 experts in the field of autonomous vehicles found that of six
possible roadblocks to the mass adoption of driverless vehicles, the
three biggest obstacles are legal liability, policymakers and consumer acceptance. Cost, infrastructure and technology were seen as the least of the problems. "
