MURRELEKTRONIK AND YACOUB AUTOMATION AGREE ON ‘CLOSE COOPERATION’ TO INCREASE INNOVATION
According to a
recent survey by IAM RoadSmart (see story above left), although driverless cars are on their way, 65% of motorists want to retain the right to drive. In fact the research found that motorists believe that a human should always be in control of a vehicle, with 53% saying the focus should be on making drivers safer, not just cars. So I would be interested
in hearing your views – are intelligent cars the way forward? Would you be happy to own a driverless car? Are you involved in the design/ manufacture of driverless cars? Let me know by emailing:
