Whether you like it or not, driverless cars will enter our lives sooner or later. Google’s driverless cars have sparked interest in this high-tech, and most automakers are currently unable to sit still, aiming at the driverless car sector and promise to have at least their own by 2020. Semi-automatic driverless system. Many industry experts also predict that in a few years, real driverless cars will be on the road.
Although the current unmanned car is still controversial, if such vehicles are popular, it will definitely affect our lives and bring a lot of changes to our lives. The following are the eight aspects of driverless cars that bring people's lives:
1. Saving thousands of lives every year
According to a set of data published by the World Health Organization, the average annual loss of approximately 1.24 million people in traffic accidents worldwide is expected to increase to 2.2 million by 2030. In the United States alone, approximately 33,000 people die each year from traffic accidents.
If the driverless car is popular, it will greatly reduce traffic accidents, so it may be able to save the lives of millions of people. According to another study, if 90% of the cars on the roads in the United States are unmanned vehicles, the number of traffic accidents per year will be reduced from 6 million to 1.3 million, and the number of deaths will drop from 33,000 to 11,300.
In the past six years, Google’s driverless cars have traveled more than 200 miles. So far, only 16 very small traffic accidents have been involved, and the “culprit†of every accident is not Google’s driverless car. .
2. CO2 emissions are greatly reduced
In addition to being able to save lives, driverless cars may also help people protect the planet. Because driverless cars can optimize car acceleration, braking and speed adjustment, and rational use of kinetic energy systems, it can improve fuel utilization and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. According to a McKinsey report, driverless cars can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 300 million tons per year. What is the concept of this number? It is equivalent to half the sum of the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted annually in the global commercial aircraft sector.
3, people will no longer own a private car
Industry analysts expect that driverless cars will be able to dramatically change people's travel habits and “encourage†them to give up their own driving to choose a robotic taxi.
According to a study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, if the number of driverless cars is popular, the car ownership will be reduced by 43% in the United States. One of the main reasons is that the use of driverless cars is more like carpooling than driving. Save money, this way can reduce the cost per mile by 80%.
4, solve the traffic congestion problem
Driverless cars can not only help reduce car traffic accidents, but they can also help reduce traffic congestion.
According to a research report from KPMG, unmanned vehicles can increase the capacity of highways by five times. SebaTIon Thrun, a computer scientist at Stanford University and a member of the former Google driverless car team, said that once a driverless car becomes mainstream, only 30% of the vehicles on the road today are needed.
5, give you more time to relax
According to a report, 80% of Americans spend an average of 50 minutes a day driving to and from work. If you change to a driverless car, the driver can do other things during this time. McKinsey predicts that the total amount of time a driver's car can save a driver can reach up to 1 billion hours a day.
6, improve work efficiency
If people save their driving time, the “production†of work will naturally increase. According to the Morgan Stanley Research Report, in the United States alone, driverless cars can increase the value of their work per year by approximately $507 billion. Of course, if you consider other benefits of driverless cars, such as improving fuel utilization and saving traffic accidents, driverless cars will save the US economy $1.3 trillion annually. Morgan Stanley expects this number to reach $5.6 trillion globally.
7. Help people with limited mobility to travel
Driverless cars can not only help older people travel safely, but they can also help those with disabilities travel. In 2012, Google showed how driverless car technology can help people with disabilities become more independent.
8, no longer worry about not finding a parking space
The popularity of driverless cars means you don't have to look for a parking space, because after driving you to your destination, you will drive to find the best parking lot. Even if you buy a driverless car, you don't need to park because it can find the parking space yourself and then stop by itself.
This will greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient parking spaces in the city. According to a report from Bank of America, parking spaces currently occupy about 31% of the city's land area, but with the reduction in car ownership and the reduction in parking demand, the space previously used for parking can be redeveloped for other purposes, such as Create a living area. The United Nations predicts that by 2050 the global urban population will increase by 66% (about 2.5 billion).
