The main challenges for driverless vehicles isn’t technology but logistics, social approval and legal frameworks, experts told Business in Vancouver.
UBC professor AnnaLisa Meyboom, who studies driverless vehicles, speculates that people might enjoy being in their driverless cars so much that they’ll put up with sitting in their vehicles for longer stretches.
“We’re expecting more total kilometres driven with these vehicles. You could have children be transported, or the elderly or the blind. There could even be trips where there is no one inside the vehicle,” said Meyboom.
