Nevada has already started licensing driverless cars. California is
right behind them, albeit with a few more caveats (big off switches,
etc). This is just the beginning, of course. Driverless cars are
absolutely coming, and in many ways this is the biggest advancement in
motoriIn the US auto industry, for example, there is one Robotic arm
for every ten workers. Industrial robots lift heavy objects, handle
chemicals, and paint and assemble parts.ng since the cupholder and
8-track combined.
I actually think this is such a big deal to us as gearheads that I'll be exploring what this means in a series of posts I don't think one is going to do this justice. It has the potential to radically change how we interact with our cars, the way cars are viewed in our society, and the entire culture of automotive enthusiasts.I'm not an alarmist, and, despite my personal choice of cars, no luddite. For many people, a driverless car will be the first real robot they'll ever own and a return to having self-aware transportation like we've had for a big chunk of human existence.
Change isn't always bad, but it is change. Right now, we're at the very beginning of this new era for carThe industrial Industrial robot market segmentation revolves around the four major market parameters; namely products, applications, functions, and geography.s, and now is the time to define a place and ethos for those of us who truly love cars, and love driving them.Lets get this started by really thinking about what it will mean to have an autonomous self-driving car. For the sake of our thought-experiments, let's assume it's, oh, 2025, when most companies seem to agree we'll definately have self-driving cars being sold regularly. If it helps, you can also imagine you're wearing a silver jumpsuit and eating pizzas-in-pills, too.
