Many consider cars equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) or self-driving cars safe and one of the best things for public health and safety in the next 20 years.
Carmakers and tech companies both strive for self driving cars, and ‘robotaxis’ on the road, sooner rather than later.
Autonomous cars can sense their environment and drive without human involvement. Any automated cars driving on public roads require a human behind the wheel who can control of the car.
Benefits of Las Vegas self driving cars
Traffic crash data from the Nevada Department of Public Safety reveal that traffic fatalities have been rising yearly in Nevada. Las Vegas drivers have a reputation for not knowing where they’re going, and not to mention the influx of tourists who view Sin City as their personal playground. Combined, this leads the city to have high insurance rates and a large number of traffic accidents.
There are many possible benefits of AI in self-driving cars including:
- Large reduction in traffic accidents; collateral injuries; and associated costs, including a lower need for insurance.
- Expected ease in traffic flow;
- Enhanced mobility for those unable to drive (such as children, the aged and disabled);
- Decreased gas consumption;
- Lastly, reduced parking space needs.
It is estimated that autonomous vehicles save up to 50 minutes a day for users. Drivers could do other things including reading, working and relaxing.
Additionally, the current model of insurance which is currently based on human error will move to a focus which insures auto manufacturers from liabilities from a technical failure of their self-driving car. This could reduce monthly insurance premiums. Wallets around the city rejoice since Las Vegas has one of the nation’s highest car insurance rates.
While there are many benefits from AI in cars, it will be interesting to see how liability disputes are resolved and how government regulations for Las Vegas self driving cars will be established.
