Success in the technology

Despite the success of autonomous vehicles in rural areas, there needs to be significant changes in infrastructure in the inner city and suburban areas for there to be complete use of the levels of autonomy. There will need to be better road signals and lines painted, weather conditions being factored in and the general population. Technology can do great things but it does these great things in conditioned environments and the environment changes all the time when driving. The current infrastructure will throw off the perception of the system which can lead to fatal accidents, which is what is trying to be prevented with the incorporation of autonomous driving. There also needs to be an evaluation on how autonomous driving will affect the job market and economy. If there are autonomous vehicles, there will eventually be services that provide taxi services without physical drivers. This will deeply impact the current job force in driving for taxi companies and even services like Uber and Lyft.
