Improving road safety has always been highly valued by public order management. The number of traffic accidents is increasing, and more deaths are caused by distraction while driving. Therefore, car safety has been improved, and one of the innovations is self-driving cars. Many factors play a role on the road, and self-driving cars are the choice of those seeking safety. But India has banned self-driving cars on the grounds that automation is causing a lot of unemployment. Are we on the right track? Let’s find out the direction of this discussion about autonomous vehicles.
Compared with the problems encountered by manual drivers while driving, the computer does not make any mistakes. Error-free driving is the key to autonomous vehicles. It is estimated that nearly 80% of car accidents are caused by humans. Remove this error from the equation.
The computer uses sophisticated algorithms to estimate the distance to other vehicles and the correct parking distance, which greatly reduces the chance of a car accident. Computers are not distracted-this is one of the main causes of accidents around the world and in India.
Self-driving cars will indeed increase productivity. This not only increases costs, but also saves time. People can focus on other tasks while the car does the driving work on its own.
It is also an environmentally friendly mode of transportation, because driverless cars greatly improve driving conditions and reduce traffic congestion by reducing fuel consumption.
Movement disorders or injuries will not affect self-driving cars. People with disabilities can use these vehicles to drive safely on the road, reducing errors and bringing more benefits.
Companies are interested in fresh products, and innovation continues to push the industry forward. This can be seen in self-driving cars with functions such as automatic driving, automatic braking, automatic parking, and sensors.

But self-driving cars are a bad idea.
The use of autonomous vehicles alone requires training and education of drivers. When the computer takes over while driving, the driver needs to know how to operate safely.
In addition, the cost of introducing new technologies can be prohibitively high for ordinary Indians. Currently, the total amount of engineering, power and calculation tools, software, and sensors is US$100,000.
Only when people choose this service can they save cost, life and time to the greatest extent. If self-driving cars are not widely used, even though the technology is available, accidents will still occur.
A lot of information is stored in the computer so that the computer can drive the vehicle. The loss of personal information when a hacker hijacks a vehicle and the additional security issues that result from it can be a real problem.
Self-driving cars will cut jobs in the local public transportation sector, including truck and taxi drivers, which may not only have a negative impact on employment but also on the economy, because automation will cause a lot of unemployment.
Self-driving cars cannot rule out accidents. If an adverse event occurs, the legal consequences are more complicated. There is no legal priority for the handling of cases. Will the plaintiff stop the driver, the car manufacturer? Or a responsible software developer? If this technology does not work, there is no guarantee that autonomous vehicles can avoid accidents.
When technologies such as traffic lights do not work, self-driving cars that do not respond to human signals will be ignored. When the police control traffic, cars cannot interpret human signals.
Hacking, technical issues, profitability, unemployment-the negative list of self-driving cars is long. In a labor-intensive labor-intensive economy like India, where labor is especially unskilled, we cannot introduce technologies that reduce your chances of finding a job. There are many auxiliary industries related to the public transportation sector, such as manufacturing. The use of self-driving cars will have a negative impact on the economy in many ways.
Given the lack of technology on India’s roads, is self-driving cars a possible alternative, as sign breaks are common on our roads? From a practical and economic point of view, in the current environment, self-driving cars are obviously not the right choice for India. India must keep up with technological progress, but infrastructure barriers hinder this process. Until these issues are resolved, innovations like self-driving cars may still be a buzzword, but only a few people who can afford it can become a reality. Faced with the reality that India must use technology to solve bigger problems such as poverty and unemployment, the ban on self-driving cars is a good step.
