Can driverless driving completely replace human drivers?

Unmanned driving will not completely replace human drivers, and unmanned driving can assist human driving.

Autopilot technology will completely change our lives in the future, the most serious of which is the transportation industry, especially the long-distance transportation industry. As we all know, long-distance transportation is long and arduous, but there are still many people who choose this industry to make a living. However, this situation will be improved by remote driving in the future. Drivers can avoid fatigue driving by remotely controlling cars in the workplace, and even drive in shifts all day to improve transportation efficiency.

However, there are still many problems with this technology. One is the signal problem. If the signal is unstable when the car passes through the tunnel, it will have a bad influence on the whole traffic. Second, even if the driverless car can be moved to another place, the computer can't handle the sudden problems in the car like a human driver. Driving is more difficult than expected, and it will take a long time for the driverless car to mature. ?

There is such a statistic that about 20% of traffic accidents in the United States are caused by weather, which is a real data and an unavoidable problem. When unmanned driving faces weather conditions such as rain, snow, road icing, smoke, fog, strong wind, strong light and temperature difference, the conditions for safe driving will be destroyed, and unmanned driving needs high-precision positioning and transmission of signals, light sources and sounds. However, as a human driver, most of the time, you can drive safely under these conditions, and you can well perceive the impact of external weather changes on driving safety.

Therefore, in the long run, unmanned driving is more positioned as an assisted driving system. Just like airplanes, ships, subways and other means of transportation are equipped with automatic driving systems, but it still needs several people to drive. With the development of artificial intelligence, many jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence, but some jobs still need people.
