Automotive industry every year more and more perfected. We do not have time to get used to such concepts as a hybrid or electric car, not to mention the drones. It is quite possible that after some ten years on the roads will be drones mostly.
But are we ready to this? Are we ready to trust these machines, and are we confident that they will be adequate to drive and observe traffic rules? And what about the human factor? Precisely because of it we make mistakes on the road that leads to an accident. Of course the manufacturers claim that drones will be equipped with special sensors, and will abide by all rules of the road and therefore will respond appropriately to emergency situations. The reason is that a powerful computer can process at once a large number of information and immediately make a decision. While the driver can’t cope with his psychological state at this moment. However, what happens if the electronics fails, if something breaks. Don’t you agree that the quartz watches are broken most often than mechanical and matches sometimes are more reliable than gas lighter.
In this case, the only correct decision can be considered a drone with a driver. He will be able to take control of the vehicle in any emergency.
Moreover, still one of the main problems is improper behavior of the drone in bad weather conditions. Rain and fog can interfere with the action of lasers and greatly reduce their range of vision. All this can lead to an accident, and a traffic offense as a result. Still it isn’t known how drones operate in the winter. (Read about 3 Best Cars in Winter) At this time the sensors can not effectively assess the state of icy pavement. So it can lead to accidents or traffic violations.
In general to talk about the exclusive benefits of drones is premature. And we also can’t say that the vehicle without a driver will focus better on the road than the real driver. Yes, many accidents happen because of man, but many managed to avoid the collision. And it is not so much due to the reaction of the driver, it is because of his precious experience.
