Damn! You’re late for work. You’re driving your car in a hurry. Now, slow down, or else you’ll end up in an accident. Like this, various mistakes made by drivers for multiple reasons will become cause of an accident and sometimes even end up taking a life… Then what is the solution? We should be more careful! Well, we should. But we’re just humans; we can’t control everything. To correct this, autonomous vehicles are created! Yes. Autonomous cars are self-driving cars that can operate on their own. Cool right? With this invention, you don’t have to worry about anything. Even not in all places, it became a reality in some cities. And eventually, in others also, it will! There are tremendous uses for these autonomous cars. Let’s see the Ten Advantages of Using Autonomous Cars:
1. Reduced Accidents
Every year, 1.3 million people die in road accidents worldwide. Whoa, that’s a lot of people. As I already told you, even though very careful while driving, we’re just humans, right? Various accidents occur due to speeding, using mobile while driving, etc. These can be avoided by using autonomous cars. Road accidents are reduced by 90% due to these autonomous cars. No more lives are lost in road accidents!
2. Environmentally Friendly
As more and more vehicles are used worldwide, pollution also increases due to the co2 emission from the vehicles. Software used in making autonomous cars ensures less fuel consumption. A reduction in fuel usage will result in fewer emissions. Also, due to autonomous cars, repeated braking and re-accelerating are avoided. Excessive speed is also prevented. Thus, it can cause a 60% reduction in emissions.
3. Better Mobility
While driving, you need full attention on the road; you shouldn’t take your eyes off the road. Also, you should be physically and mentally healthy to drive. In autonomous cars, that’s not the case. So, people with disabilities like handicaps and blindness can also drive! Yes. As autonomous cars don’t need a driver, anyone can enjoy driving in a car without any barriers. They can freely go wherever they want without thinking about getting into danger.
4. Less Congestion
Imagine if you need to go somewhere urgently but are stuck in traffic. Damn! You can never make it on time. Such a headache, right? No worries. Autonomous cars came to your rescue! It can prevent nose-to-tail crashes. Thus, every car will travel at a safer distance. It can avoid stop-and-go traffic created by vehicles. Therefore, no need to waste time on the road for a long time. It also saves fuel.
5. Higher Productivity
What are you doing while driving? What a stupid question. One can only focus on the road while driving! Well, in autonomous cars, that’s not the case. As you don’t have to drive, you can do something productive inside your car. Also, it can find ways where there is less traffic; thus, the time you waste on traffic is also saved. Hence using autonomous cars results in higher productivity.
6. Efficient Parking
Which will be a headache, driving or parking? You’ll be screaming PARKING!! Yes. Parking would be a real headache. To find a place to park everywhere you go, parking without damaging your vehicle, finding appropriate space… Ah! The list is so long. Well, in autonomous cars, you won’t have that problem. Within a small amount of area, it can park itself. It is expected 15% reduction in space with autonomous cars. Thus, it also benefits the building owners by creating small parking lots.
7. Enjoy Every View
One thing every driver would get pissed off about is that they can’t be able to enjoy the view as they must focus on driving. In autonomous cars, you can enjoy the view as you don’t need to drive the car! Also, there are no sleepless nights while driving. You can sleep while night ride as the autonomous cars do your work!
8. Identify Danger Before You
Can’t see objects farther while driving? Don’t worry. Autonomous cars use sensory technology to detect dangers. It includes various sensors like light, velocity, radar, etc. It can detect obstacles, smaller or larger, ahead of humans. Also, it has multiple cameras, which help it to identify problems quickly. Thus, you’re safer in an autonomous car.
9. Savings
You can save so many things while using autonomous cars. Fuel costs, insurance costs, parking, and all the other costs are also reduced. If these cars are used in public transportation like taxis, it can solve many of our problems. We don’t need to wait for a vehicle for a long time to return to our home after a vacation; also, we can find places where traffic is less. Both money and time are saved!
10. More Powerful Vehicles
More efficient and powerful engines are required for autonomous cars. As it is in the early stage of development, more advantageous features are yet to be added. Autonomous cars have both economic and environmental advantages as they provide less pollution, safer street, less fuel usage, and many more! And safety features are being tested for the public to use without fear.
