This is episode three of a multi-part series on the Future of Mobility. Today, we’re focusing on self-driving cars. We examine the benefits autonomous vehicles bring, namely lowered transportation costs, safety, connectivity, expanded commuter radius and interior space, while also looking at some potential drawbacks like security risks and AI morality.

There’s no doubt widely-adopted self-driving will fundamentally change our perception of vehicle ownership, infrastructure, and short to medium-haul travel. But the key obstacle to adoption is trust, which maybe a lesson from history could help us put that into perspective.
