Challenge faces:
1. There’s no regulation
Another big obstacle for self-driving cars isn’t technical — it’s political. Before self-driving cars
can hit the roads, regulators are going to have to approve them for use. One thing they’re going
to want to ask is: How safe are these things, anyway?
Drivers in the United States currently get into fatal accidents at a rate of about one for every
100 million miles driven. Ideally, we’d want self-driving cars to be at least that safe. But it’s
unlikely we’ll be able to prove that any time soon. Google only drove its cars 1.3 million miles
total between 2009 and 2017 — not nearly enough to draw rigorous statistical conclusions
about safety. It would take many decades to drive the hundreds and hundreds of millions of
miles needed to prove safety.
Example:
Telkomsel manfaatkan ajang Asian Games, buat memperkenalkan ke publik Tanah Air,
kendaraan listrik tanpa sopir atau otonomos (autonomous). Mikro bus ini menjadi kendaraan
berteknologi otonomos pertama yang beroperasi di Indonesia, ditopang teknologi 5G
Telkomsel. “Kendaraan yang kami persembahkan tersebut, mungkin satu-satunya mobil listrik
otonomos yang pernah menginjakkan kaki di Indonesia,” ujar Indra. Indra memberikan
keterangan, sampai saat ini teknologi yang ditunjukkan tersebut belum dikomersialisasi,
mungkin beberapa waktu lagi sambil menunggu pengembangan teknologi dan
infrastrukturnya. Mereka berharap bisa mengedukasi publik juga lewat ini.
