AUTONOMOUS CARS PROMISE to give us back the time we spend in traffic, improve the flow of traffic, reduce accidents, deaths, and injuries, and make personal car travel possible for everyone regardless of their abilities or condition. But despite impressive demonstrations and technical advances, many obstacles remain on the road to fully autonomous cars. Overcoming the challenges to enabling autonomous cars to safely operate in highly complex driving situations may take some time. Manufacturers already produce partially automated cars, and a spirited competition to deliver the most sophisticated ones is under way. Cars that provide high levels of automation in some circumstances (such as highway driving) have already arrived in the marketplace and promise to be in the hands of a large number of car owners in the next few years.
自动驾驶汽车有望将我们花在交通上的时间还给我们,改善交通流量,减少事故、死亡和伤害,并使每个人无论其能力或身体状况如何都能实现个人汽车出行。但是,尽管有令人印象深刻的演示和技术进步,在通往完全自动驾驶汽车的道路上仍存在许多障碍。克服使自动驾驶汽车在高度复杂的驾驶情况下安全运行的挑战可能需要一些时间。制造商已经生产出部分自动化的汽车,一场交付最先进汽车的激烈竞争正在进行中。在某些情况下(如高速公路驾驶)提供高度自动化的汽车已经进入市场,并有望在未来几年内被大量车主所拥有。
