Whether you like it or not, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are coming to our world. Although it excites many, the evolution to self-driving cars is also facing push back and this is mainly due to the fear of crashing. So how do we make the transition in the smoothest way?

There are three main challenges to achieving an autonomous future, according to Moran David who is General Manager for Mobileye’s Intelligent Mobility Solutions Division in North America.

Mobileye, an Intel company, offers vision-based advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) which provide real-time alerts for collision prevention, a technology used in the semi-autonomous vehicles of today.

“First of all, consumers must be able to trust full autonomy – which will require that they first grow familiar with and trust ADAS solutions. Autonomous vehicles will not be going mainstream tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean we have to wait to advance road safety,” Mr. David told Global Fleet.

Mobileye’s ADAS solutions are already leveraging the same technologies needed for self-driving safety and they aren’t only accessible in new vehicles. The company has solutions like Mobileye 8 Connect which can be retrofit to cars currently on roads. Read more here...
