Yesterday, futurologist Dr. Ahmet Vural Demircioglu spoke about the future of autonomous driving in a workshop I joined together with my colleague Felix Hofmann . Various aspects were highlighted, which showed that it is not just the technology but also
1. The infrastructure and this also means, for example, the condition of the road, with potholes and incomplete or missing markings
2. The legal status of autonomous driving
3. New business models are needed for servicing and insuring vehicles
4. How much do you develop as your own effort, what do you do with collaboration
5. How about social acceptance? It takes decades until new technologies are accepted in a social context. The interests are often contradictory
6. There are many ethical questions when there is no right or wrong and who is, for the action I take, responsible or not.
7. The biggest challenge, however, is figuring out when it's okay to break the rules or not. This is one of the most important questions.
All in all, this is a very complex matter. There are many little cogs that mesh together to make it work, so it's not just a technology issue that needs to be solved and this tooks many, many years to come to a acceptable solution.
What can we do to build a bridge here?
Is remote driving (TeleOperation), as Vay or Ottopia have successfully demonstrated, perhaps an opportunity to offer a bridging technology?
Whats your opinion?
Thanks to Alexander Satanowsky for the invitation to such an interesting topic and workshop regarding the future of #Autonomousdriving with bridging technologies like #TeleOperation
