https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-09-01-no-for-driverless-cars-americans-prefer-driving.html

September 01, 2020 -

Researchers from the University of Washington surveyed Americans and found that the perceived cost of driving oneself to work is lower than that of a driverless car. The perceived cost reflected public attitude on how efficient or burdensome each trip is.

"The average person in our sample would find riding in a driverless car to be more burdensome than driving themselves," said senior author Don MacKenzie.Driverless cars worse than personal driving

And yet, the technology is here and it is getting better every year. So we may have little choice about whether or not we want our vehicle to do the driving for us in the near future.

Indeed, the technology has even advanced to the point where media and technology giant Google has given them a “greenlight” for business, The New York Times reported recently.

Google’s parent company, Alphabet, announced earlier this month that driverless technology was ready to ...

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-05-chinese-tech-giant-launches-driverless-taxis-beijing.html

May 05, 2021 -

Unlike previous demonstrations, there is no human driver behind the wheel as the autonomous cars, called Apollo Go Robotaxis, ferry passengers in Shougang Park in west Beijing. Instead, a safety engineer sits in the front passenger seat and a remote operator is on hand in case of an emergency.

The taxis are currently available to commuters aged 18 to 60, with each ride to one of eight pre-programmed destinations costing $4.60.

To hail an Apollo Go taxi, passengers have to make ...

December 22, 2025 -

A Saturday afternoon fire in a critical utility substation did more than just knock out the lights for 130,000 San Francisco customers. It provided a real-time lesson in the fragility of our modern technological society. On December 20, a blaze at the Pacific Gas & Electric substation at 8th and Mission streets triggered a cascading failure, plunging roughly one-third of the city into darkness and grinding daily life to a halt during a peak holiday shopping ...

January 25, 2022 - driverless vehicles

The corporations didn't land in Texas by accident, as the state has the biggest number of truck drivers aside from having many qualified engineers. The sunny climate of the state is also great for the trucks' sensors, and Mexico exports 85 percent of its cargo to Texas by road.

Houston and Dallas, two of the largest cities in Texas, are primary freight centers and the state's level distances are perfect for long-haul transport.

May 11, 2025 - driverless vehicles, we have seen exactly what we all thought would happen – gridlock, stalled vehicles and accidents," Blitsch remarked.

Chris Griswold, President of Teamsters Joint Council 42, also said the same. "This technology is dangerous, and it puts the life of every professional driver we represent at risk. The Teamsters fully support SB 395 and call on all of Nevada's leaders to pass this bill into law," he said.

The bill passed the Nevada Senate on ...

On October 24, state authorities suspended Cruise's operating permit, banning it from deploying driverless cars on public roads until safety concerns are resolved. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also investigated to see if it should also take action.

Now, Cruise's response to the gruesome incident could make or break California's new robotaxi industry.

Contrary to what people believe, electric vehicles are not cheaper than gas-fueled vehicles

https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-05-electric-vehicles-not-cheaper-than-standard-vehicles.html

May 05, 2022 -

Right off the bat, there are the increasing costs of charging an EV. In the U.S., it will cost up to $2,000 to install a charging station at home – not to mention the higher monthly home electric bills that come with it. With the nation's already delicate power grid, electric cars will only add to the problem.

Repairs are also more costly because the EV market is new. Moreover, few mechanics are trained to repair them, so drivers will have to find repair shops, fewer and ...
