The Google company is already in advanced development procedures, the major car manufacturers report a significant breakthrough in the field and traffic experts from all over the world estimate that the future of driverless vehicles is already upon us... will we be able to enjoy a new, advanced and different driving experience in the coming years?

Driverless vehicles - is it possible?

For several years now, the global automotive industry has been dealing with the next thing in the transportation industry: driverless vehicles. At international conferences dealing with the transportation industry, more and more technologies are revealed that will make this possible already during the next 10-20 years.

According to estimates from experts in the field of transportation, it appears that during the next 25 years, most of the world's roads will be adapted to driverless vehicles, and beyond the advanced technology that will equip our future vehicles, the roads will also be equipped with advanced technologies that will "communicate" with self-driving vehicle systems.

Already today, we enjoy a wide variety of cutting-edge and knowledge-rich technologies embedded in the cutting-edge vehicles of the leading car manufacturers, when all the technology developments from the last few years are intended to promote the next and real stage: a car without a driver!!! According to various estimates, it appears that the driverless vehicles will be operated using a computer program that will communicate directly with the roads, and thus, without human contact, the vehicle will drive us to our destinations safely.

The technological acceleration of the last few decades is turning the dream of the driverless car into a real reality that we will have already in the coming decades, when the young guys among us will be able to relax in the car, activate the software system that controls independent driving, close your eyes and wake up at your destination...

According to the experts' estimates, driverless vehicles will lead to a significant change in all the parameters associated with this field, including road infrastructure, insurance and the like. Already today, Comprehensive car insurance It is determined in some cases according to the driver's skills and claims history, with careful drivers enjoying discounted insurance rates. In the age of driverless vehicles, when the "human factor" will cease to be the main factor in the occurrence of road accidents, insurance rates will be significantly reduced.

Already today, vehicle owners whose vehicles are equipped with advanced technological systems whose purpose is to intervene directly when detecting a road hazard, benefit from discounted insurance rates thanks to these systems. The transportation future as it appears today without a driver and without human involvement along the way, will lead to the fact that the insurance policies as they are known to us today will change from end to end, when among the other parameters for determining insurance rates there will (most likely) be parameters such as: the type of system that drives the vehicle .

The prophecy was indeed given to fools, but relying on the experts' assessments and the innovations presented to the general public in regards to future technological developments, we estimate that the automobile insurance sector will also undergo a significant change with the arrival of driverless vehicles of the future on the roads of our country.

  1. No prophecy and no fools: it is already a process that cannot be stopped. What's funny is that there have already been several accidents with driverless vehicles that are going for a test drive, all at the fault of the other drivers. But there will be other benefits: the car will adjust its speed to reach green traffic lights, saving fuel and less wear on the brakes. Even the traffic lights (until they are canceled or perhaps continue to function in favor of pedestrians and bicycles) will be adapted to communicate with the cars and set the green according to the load. The passenger will be able to decide on a priority for a short travel time or saving fuel. And here is the prophecy: in 100 years no one will know how to drive!
