Opinion: Regulation Must Precede the Mass Rollout of Autonomous Cars
In an op-ed in Next City, Yonah Freemark argues that the United States urgently needs new regulations governing autonomous vehicles. Freemark outlines the potential benefits of AVs: improved safety, more time for commuters, expanded access to transportation. "But there's no guarantee these benefits will be achieved," Freemark continues. A botched AV deployment could result in more pedestrians exposed to traffic crashes. AV camera systems -- essential to allow these vehicles to navigate the streets -- could invade peoples' privacy.
