The disadvantages of driverless cars and lorriese

  • Cybersecurity

We already know that in case for the vehicles to move, it must work with the system and the system itself is connected to the network and computer. So, the possibilities for the computer system to be hacked is quite high. So, it is possible to create some safeguards against ‘car hacks’. For example, a car that collects a small amount of data by itself for operation and then deletes it after use will be more difficult to attack. We must take a safety action to avoid this problem to occur and might affect our life in the future.

  •  Liability

Let say that the accident occur. It is difficult or unclear to find if an autonomous car seriously injures another person. Due to the error or bad weather, it is even more complicated to choose who is more responsible and the computer must choose between two different accidents. Programming in those situations is fraught with ethical and legal conundrums.

  •   Sensors fail during unexpected conditions

As we know the weather can change unexpectedly and beyond our control. Autonomous vehicles rely heavily on their sensors, making them vulnerable to sensor failures in unfamiliar situation. The sensor is the important thing in this autonomous vehicle as the move based on the sensor. Just imagine if the sensor can’t be function well, it might cause a problem such as an accident because the vehicles lost it’s control. The situation that can affect the sensor are drastic weather conditions, human traffic signals and roadblocks and local traffic laws.

  •   The vehicles will be too expensive


The cost of producing this vehicle is quite high. So it will affect the price of the whole vehicle. This is because, in order to produce the vehicle it need sensors, new software and modified vehicle parts for example computer system.
