Autonomous vehicles Sample Clauses

Autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles is a hot topic for many industry players from car manufacturers, consumers, and insurance companies to governments. The US Secretary of Transportation has said that driverless cars will be in use all over the world by 2025. The IEEE predicts up to 75% of vehicles will be autonomous in 2040. While the autonomous vehicles developed today rely mostly on on-board sensors and systems, their performance and safety could be vastly improved through 5G communications. Autonomous vehicles can reduce accidents and improve road utilization as vehicles can be driven closer to each other and more safely than human drivers can achieve. Transportation companies can take advantage of autonomous car fleets. The fleets can be utilized more effectively with fewer accident caused by human error. In addition, real-time, ultra-reliable communications between vehicles, infrastructure and smartphones could enable traffic to flow more smoothly, eliminating traffic jams. Commuting time can be used for other activities with the help of autonomous vehicles. This might save an hour per day for people living and commuting in cities. The communication system needs to be extremely reliable as it involves human safety. The end-to-end latency requirement needs to be as low as 5-10 ms.

Autonomous vehicles. On July 27, 2017 the House Energy & Commerce committee advanced legislation on a 54 – 0 vote that begins changing regulations to allow trucks and cars to operate without drivers. Similar legislation is in the Senate. While proponents tout mobility for seniors and disabled, detractors point out the switch to automated vehicles could put up to 4 million out of work. Luckily, unions were able to successfully lobby for a 10,000-pound weight limit which will at least slow the job drain. USPS employees are well aware of the effects of automation on jobs. Tens of thousands of clerk positions no longer exist. Letter Carriers spend more time on the street than ever before. Amazon wants to flood the skies with drones. Congress needs to take a long slow look at how their actions may affect jobs and the economy before they cut down the social safety nets currently in place…if anything, they may need to expand them.
