Autonomous vehicles, or self-driving cars, use technology to navigate and operate without human intervention. Proponents argue that regulations ensure safety, promote innovation, and prevent accidents caused by technology failures. Opponents argue that regulations could stifle innovation, delay deployment, and impose excessive burdens on developers.

Would you trust a self-driving car to safely transport your loved ones? Why or why not?
@9XSTGSJ5mos5MO
No. Invest in high quality public transport systems instead
@9XR95BCConservative5mos5MO
No because technology has flaws and I wouldn't put my life fully in its hands.
@9XRS2P75mos5MO
No. I don't believe the tech is there, nor will probability ever be enough of a guide to "learn to drive"
@9XR95BCConservative5mos5MO
No, because technology has many mistakes and I wouldn't put my life fully in its hands like that.
@9TWFSRV6mos6MO
No, as they should be banned from going faster than 20 miles per hour and should not be allowed for private citizens.
@9Q5MMMP9mos9MO
No, We don't need autonomous vehicles, just taking away a job from someone. Imagine all the black cabs in London are now autonomous. No need for drivers.
@9QVH47J9mos9MO
I think autonomous vehicles are ruining peoples jobs because they need to make a living and sometimes the only way to do that is buy driving people around.
@9QNP5FF9mos9MO
it should be tested and regulated every so often with mandatory tested similar to an mot and it should be made mandatory to keep the software up to date to ensure proper safe driving practices
@9QB92LS9mos9MO
Yes, but in the future as it is not feasible for the average person to adapt in a short period of time.
@9MR48PS10mos10MO
yes, only people who are unable to drive should have access to them
@9MPWSXM10mos10MO
Yes, I believe autonomous vehicles should be completely mandatory in the near future.
@9MKZZVX11mos11MO
Yes, but positively, and also subsidise investment to encourage growth here.
@9Q3NHCX9mos9MO
They need to stop the production of EVs and any other newer technology in cars. Just use normal internal combustion vehicles!!!
@9P83HTL10mos10MO
Yes, but only in outlining the standards that each developer would have meet in order to make their vehicles safe for use in public. They should not interfere with innovation, research and development, nor impose burdens.
@9P4P8PM10mos10MO
Some Regulation is needed but the right balance needs to be achieved so as not to stifle innovation.
@9NKKN3810mos10MO
Yes, only in circumstances where safety and accuracy is guranteed. It would grant freedom to people with disabilities
@9N8QRS610mos10MO
I don’t understand the wording, however, my opinion is that self driving cars should not ever become the norm due to the fact driving requires humans to acknowledge other humans and self driving carts means the complications between robots communicating with other robots. The difference between the design, the brand, the technology, the code used, the measurements used will be almost impossible to standardise worldwide nevermind the UK.
@9MX5L3610mos10MO
Yes, but the bare minimum to ensure safety, with an understanding that the technology could rapidly improve
@9MSX6RP 10mos10MO
Yes, but more research and funding should be made available until they are deemed safe by experts in the industry.
