About this ebook

Elon Musk thought that his company Tesla will have fully autonomous cars ready by the end of 2020. "There are no fundamental challenges left," he said recently. "There are a number of minor issues. And then there's a struggle to solve all these little problems and bring the whole thing together."
Although the technology to allow a car to complete a journey without human interference (what the industry calls "level 5 autonomy") can move quickly, the development of a vehicle that can do so safely and legally is another matter.
The novelty of autonomous technology is intended to turn our legal and social ties into daily transport. Importantly, without a driver behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles raise concerns about the liability and responsibility for the conduct of the lane.

Therefore, this book is structured to answer many questions about autonomous vehicles and make you not only understand all the aspects of this emerging technology, but master the discussions and debates about the following topics:


Chapter 1: The rise of autonomous vehicles


Chapter 2: Tesla Autopilot


Chapter 3: A level-by-level explainer of autonomous vehicles


Chapter 4: Main Connectivity Specifications Of Autonomous Vehicles


Chapter 5: Building Passenger Trust Is Key


Chapter 6: The reasons Autonomous vehicles still aren’t on our roads


Chapter 7: Legal frameworks and other national initiatives


Chapter 8: Liability, ethics and human rights implications


Chapter 9: Leading opinions on an ethical rollout for autonomous vehicles


Chapter 10: Social and economic implications


Chapter 11: Ongoing research and impediments to autonomous vehicle development


Chapter 12: The Sensor Types Drive Autonomous Vehicles
