Autonomous vehicles
make the import of components, products, and of course, vehicles even more expensive. Even more so since major brands like Nissan are moving their manufacturing plants out of the UK.
It is for these reasons that I believe a fully autonomous network will be achievable within the next 30 years instead of 10, especially since alternate and more sustainable fuels such as battery or hydrogen power is of a higher priority to governments and will take tens of years to master and come up with an efficient solution to limiting the greenhouse gas emission of vehicles. Inspired by the results from the survey, my next direction of research would be: ‘What would overcome public distrust an d concern surrounding autonomous vehicles?’ , as I think this is a major (and arguably the most difficult) hurdle that manufacturers will have to overcome.
