A Hundred-Year-Old Race to the Future: Where Are the Autonomous Cars? - Andrew Morris

Self-driving cars have long been dreamed about - but also explored and researched. And yet, almost a century after the first experiments were conducted, and despite the fact that the required technology is already developed, autonomous cars have yet to hit the roads. What is preventing their implication and why is it taking so long?In our latest "Wikistrat Insider" episode, Andrew Morris, a Professor of Human Factors in Transport Safety, explains how these cars will impact not only our streets - but even our relationships, why there's a greater chance a Scandinavian country, rather than Japan, will be the first to go "autonomous," and why we won't own a car in the future.Andrew Morris is a Professor of Human Factors in Transport Safety and leads the Behavioural Safety Research and Injury Prevention Research Group at Loughborough University.
