The advantage of driverless cars and lorries
- Can let you sleep
We
already know that driverless car or lorry do not need you to drive the vehicle
as it will move through the instruction of the computer. So, without the need
of driver, vehicles can be mini-leisure rooms. The vehicles will have more
space and no need for everyone to face forwards. You just need to be more
relaxed and enjoy your journey.
- Reduces the number of crash
In
USA, over 80% of car crashes are caused by driver error. But with this
driverless vehicles, there would be no bad drivers and less mistakes on the
roads. Drunk and drugged drivers would also be a thing for the past
.
- Greater efficiency
It
can reduced congestion. Automated driving leads to fewer accidents. With this
fewer accident, we can reduced the congestion. This is because, when an
accident occur, we already know that the lane will be blocked, and the time to
remove the affected vehicle also takes time. So with this innovation, road
congestion can be reduced by 25%.
- Increased lane capacity
The
ability to operate at higher speeds and reduced space between vehicles, it can
lead to 500% greater lane capacity, vehicles per lane per hour. With the use of
cruise control, we can automatically adjusts vehicle speed for it to maintain a
safe distance between cars and trucks.
- Fuel efficiency
The
use of fuel in order for the vehicles to works can be reduces as the innovation
can create vehicles that will not use the fuel to make it function plus
nowadays the trucking industry consumes a very large amount of gas. Automated
vehicles can use fuel more efficiently by platooning, the adaptive cruise
control function that allows trucks to stay away from each other and can reduce
speed. Manufacturers could also design electric or hydrogen powered trucks or
vehicles.
