It analyses the impacts of autonomous driving using a scenario-based approach to quantify the effects on the overall economy and affected sectors. The book assess from a qualitative and quantitative approach, the future of autonomous driving, and the main drivers, challenges, and barriers. The book investigates whether individuals are ready to use advanced automated driving vehicles technology, and to what extent we as a society are prepared to accept highly automated vehicles on the road.
Building on the technologies, opportunities, strengths, threats, and weaknesses, Autonomous Vehicles: Technologies, Regulations, and Societal Impacts discusses the needed frameworks for automated vehicles to move inside and around cities. The book concludes with a discussion on what in applications comes next, outlining the future research needs.
- Broad, interdisciplinary and systematic coverage of the key issues in autonomous driving and vehicles
- Examines technological impact on society, governance, and the economy as a whole
- Includes foundational topical coverage, case studies, objectives, and glossary
Postgraduates, researchers. Traffic engineers, city planners, consultants, traffic planners, vehicle designers
