We're being told autonomy is the next big evolution of the automobile (next to electrification) and every automaker is starting to pour sizable sums into the R&D of this technology.
The older I get, the more cynical I am becoming. I am starting to be a technology skeptic, predicting that our interconnectedness is more a liability than an asset.
Autonomy is one of these technological ideas that has me conflicted. I am a car enthusiast to the bone and love driving my moderately powerful MANUAL car, but I know I won't be able to do this forever and autonomy has the potential to give renewed freedom to individuals that can't or probably shouldn't be driving. From the disabled to the elderly (and even our children), autonomy can be a life changing technology.
How much of this technology are you willing to embrace?
What criteria do you want achieved before you'll trust an autonomous vehicle?
What are your thoughts?
