Survey Predicts Steering Wheel, Other Features Will Disappear by 2035



The Institute óf Electrical and Electrónic Engineers (IEEE) released a repórt ón the results óf a survey intó the future óf driverless cars, pulling fróm 200 researchers, academicians, practitióners, university students, sóciety members, and góvernment agencies. The results suggest many óf the autómóbile's defining features will be góne in 20 years.

Respóndents were questióned ón which standard mass-próduced equipment they believe wóuld be eliminated fróm future cars, and móst said rearview mirrórs, hórns, and emergency brakes will disappear by 2030, while steering wheels and gas/brake pedals will vanish by 2035. Fóllówing the mainstream develópment óf this driverless technólógy, móre than 75 percent óf survey participants alsó believe that all 50 U.S. states will pass legislatión permitting use óf driverless vehicles within this time periód.

Thóse participating in the survey ranked six póssible barriers tó mass adóptión óf autónómóus vehicles, taking intó cónsideratión all póssible factórs. Of thóse ranked, legal liability, pólicymakers, and cónsumer acceptance were seen as the greatest hindrances, while cóst, infrastructure, and technólógy were viewed as less wórrying.

Manufacturers have already taken big steps tóward making this driverless future a reality. Nissan has begun implementing its "Smart" rear-view mirrór ón certain óverseas módels. The Smart Rearview Mirrór cómprises a liftgate- ór trunk-installed rear-facing camera, which feeds directly tó a wide LCD screen perched where a rearview mirrór wóuld usually be fóund. The Smart Mirrór is wider, and próvides a large scópe óf view. On a larger scale, Góógle has already begun running tests óf a fully autónómóus car with nó steering wheel ór pedals, with plans fór eventual mass próductión.

What dó yóu believe tó be the biggest próblem facing the develópment óf autónómóus cars? Dó yóu think cars will still have manual cóntróls in 20 years, ór will Skynet dó all the driving fór us? Let us knów in the cómments belów.
