As the self-driving automobile industry ramps up, we’re starting to see more of these cars on roads around the world. However, there is one major problem with autonomous driving that has nothing to do with AI, safety or even the reliability of the technology.
Calling a car "autonomous" is not enough. It is also necessary to define the degree of autonomy that such a vehicle has and fortunately there is a standard to which we can refer. SAE International has thus classified self-driving cars into 6 levels. Would you believe that Tesla only stops at level 2?
Self-driving cars that bring you home or safely to work after the party are supposed to be the future. But there is also a purpose which not everyone may admit to being so excited about: the self-driving car as a brothel. But that's not the only part of the service industry that will be transformed by self-driving vehicles.
Thanks to advances in technology, our cars are getting smarter and smarter. But although it may it seem so, this doesn't happen by magic. Behind the glamour lies a sobering truth...all-too-human drudge work in the poorest regions of the world is teaching our cars how to navigate their surroundings. Is this acceptable?
Many think that electric cars are the vehicles of the future because they don't use fossil fuels, but is that enough? Are there alternatives which are better for the environment? Public transport is an obvious answer.
Lime has revealed its new third generation of e-scooter featuring as bigger battery and a more durable design. With increased competition from Uber and Lyft, the e-scooter race is definitely on, but are they all heading in the wrong direction? I think so.
I have a dilemma. I want to love e-scooter sharing schemes, but I fund fundamental faults with all them. At a time when this planet needs us to change the way we travel more than ever, there has to be a company out there that can nail the formula!
