Some 10-15 years will pass and the profession of "driver" will become a rarity for us. The era of fully autonomous cars is coming. These are the conclusions made by the head of the Institute of Robotics, representing the University of California at San Diego, Henrik Christensen.
The American scientist is confident that all cars will be replaced by drones. This will free up our time.
“I believe that the people of the new generation that are now being born will never drive cars. All automakers claim that production, fully self-driving models will be on the road over the next five years,”Christensen said.
The futurologist made another rather bold prediction. According to the scientist, in 20 years, a personal car may lose its significance.
Christensen explained that many people today use cars to get to work and then return home. It turns out that the car is idle most of the time. In the future, cars will be able to combine all the advantages of personal and public transport.
Our country does not plan to lag behind the general trends. So, already this year, drone trucks will appear on Russian roads. And the first such cars will be GAZelle, Next and Hyundai Porter.
Also, in the summer of 2017, information appeared from representatives of KAMAZ PTC. In 2018, the first so far test drone of KAMAZ will appear. Well, by 2025, their serial production will begin.
