Autonomous and Automated Vehicles – The Future Transportation Systems

Abstract

Automated Vehicles (AV) are already in existence in developed countries such as the US and other nations in the Middle East. The present concerns concerning AV are not linked to the dilemma of whether the tech advancements have to be implemented or not. Instead, these concerns revolve around the main implications of these technologies in the effort of developing smart transportation frameworks in the world we live in. Moreover, there is a major concern about the likelihood of their systems being automated and remain in a manner which can be controlled by human beings. Apart from that, there is a major question: how does mobility transform the independent operations of autos dominant on highways? This question throws in another concern that involves the public being appraised fully and how science will affect the rate of communication through the various forms of social media. With that regard, this paper seeks to evaluate the concern and recommend strategies that can be used to mitigate the present emergent issue in transportation services.
