Safety and infrastructure are two of the main concerns by the public when it comes to self-driving transport. This is based on an informal audience survey at the ongoing Dubai World Congress for Self-Driving Transport.
Among the four parameters - technology, safety, infrastructure and legislation - safety and infrastructure are on an even keel while technology comes as the least concern, followed by legislation.
Visitors and participants at the two-day congress, organised by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) which opened on Tuesday, were asked to vote by dropping a ball in each container labeled with the four themes concerning autonomous vehicles (AV).
