Autonomous Vehicles: Ingress and Potential

New engineering solutions have been developed with the aim to help the driver over the past few decades. 94 ± 2.2% of accidents are caused by a human choice or error, where the critical reason, in the crash causal chain, was assigned to the driver. Autonomous Vehicles (AV) have great potential for improving road safety. This paper provides overview of the autonomic car background, the need for infrastructure for competitive entry of autonomous cars into the urban transport market. The description of the potential of autonomous cars covers the two main most promising areas: the application of AV to public transport and AV in car sharing service
