???? Debunking 5 Common Myths About Self-Driving Cars! ??Over the past few years, autonomous driving has sparked both curiosity and debate worldwide. ?With major manufacturers and tech firms investing heavily, self-driving cars are becoming more than just a futuristic dream! But along with excitement, misconceptions still persist. ??As part of the #GINEVRA project, we’re working on governance frameworks and citizen engagement tools to help cities effectively integrate transformative innovations like autonomous vehicles. While the technology is advancing rapidly, public perception plays a key role in its adoption. That’s why it’s important to separate fact from fiction when it comes to self-driving cars. Let’s debunk some of the most common myths! ?? ? Myth: Self-driving cars are too expensive ? Reality: As technology advances and production scales up, costs will drop—making autonomous vehicles more affordable and accessible in the future! ???? ? Myth: They aren’t safe ? Reality: Human error is the leading cause of accidents. Autonomous vehicles, equipped with advanced sensors and AI, are designed to enhance road safety and reduce crashes. ????? ? Myth: Car insurance will become obsolete ? Reality: While autonomous tech reduces risks, accidents can still happen. Insurance models will evolve, but they won’t disappear! ???? ? Myth: Self-driving cars are easy to hack ? Reality: Autonomous vehicles come with multiple layers of security, making them harder to hack than traditional cars. ????? ? Myth: They need perfect road conditions ? Reality: Thanks to cutting-edge sensors and AI algorithms, self-driving cars can handle rain, road construction, and traffic—adapting to various conditions! ??? ??
