The hidden downsides of autonomous vehicles – and how to avoid them

Almost every major car manufacturer has mentioned the potential benefits of autonomous vehicles. They often talk about design, on-board technology, safety and fuel efficiency, but too little focus is given to the effects on sectors including energy, the environment and human rights. Are these sectors ready for the changes that autonomous vehicles will bring? Or will there be unintended consequences that cause either these sectors or autonomous driving to collapse? The good news is that a solution exists that leverages existing mobility platforms with new autonomous technology.
