What do you think will be the timeline before autonomous cars become commonplace on the roads? And, how long do you think before the majority of cars are autonomous?
Hi,
I'm a software developer with around 5 years experience. Currently I'm mainly focusing on software architecture, technical project leading, programmer soft skills and blogging.
Here I'm a bit pessimistic. Most of the companies are planning the first serial production for the upcoming 5-7 years, but I think it will take a bit longer. But once it will be introduced I think it will become quite fast popular and since most of the new cars today already have most of the sensors (they have front camera, back camera, radar, ultrasonic sensors) only the software needs to be changed strongly I don't expect too high prices. On the other hand there are different levels of autonomous driving. Features like highway pilot or traffic jam assistant are already almost perfect.
