What Benefits Would the Robotic Car Provide?


 Robotic cars provide many benefits:

  • Fewer accidents
  • Lower mobility costs (gas consumption, vehicle insurance)
  • Road networks would be used more efficiently
  • Reduces the need for parking spaces
  • Decreased cost for shipping
  • New businesses can develop (i.e. a driverless taxi service)


Businesses that would benefit greatly from this technology include:

·         Zipcar. A person will be able to simply call Zipcar and the vehicle will be able to use GPS technology to drive itself to the customer’s location.

·         Military. This technology can be implemented for use in a military environment, eliminating the risk that is entailed with the use of a human driver, i.e. death.

·         Trucking companies. Upon perfection of this technology, perhaps the need for a human driver will become unnecessary and trucking shipments will be able to drive themselves to their predetermined destinations.

·         Pizza companies, grocery stores, taxi companies and limo services are also some possible future benefactors of this technological advancement.
