Cyber Security

The myriad of bad behaviors a driver might exhibit behind the wheel, a computer is actually an ideal motorist. It is easy for drivers to get confused between features like lane departure warning that alerts a driver a correction needs to be made, and lane control assists that actually keeps the car on track when it senses a driver allowing the car to drift. Another benefit is that the sensory technology could potentially perceive the environment better than humans could, seeing farther ahead, better in poor visibility, and detecting smaller and more subtle obstacles. Plus, several cameras might be used at once, and cameras have no blind spots so they will be more aware and vigilant than a human driver ever could be.

Since 81 percent of car crashes are the result of human error, computers would take a lot of danger out of the equation entirely. Self-driving car crashes dominate headlines, often outweighing coverage of key benefits. Autonomous cars notoriously have trouble navigating crowds of pedestrians. They have trouble distinguishing and determining human intention on the roads. An autonomous car killed a person on a public road for the first time after an Uber test car failed to stop and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona.
