The Future of Driving
How does the future of driving look?
Predicting the future of anything is easy. The trick, however, is in being right.
In 2016, a prehistoric era in technological terms, we wrote that autonomous vehicles were “already here” in some significant ways – that “soon, they may get so clever, and so safe, that governments will have to make it illegal for humans to drive”.
Easier said, it turned out, than just about any manufacturer thought it could be done.
What exactly we should expect from the future of driving will always be open to debate, but it seems today’s car enthusiasts can at least be sure they’ll probably never have their steering wheels and pedals taken away.
Some things now seem beyond debate, however. While vehicles with internal combustion engines will likely continue to be offered in Australia for decades to come, on both the new and used market, social and political pressure is ensuring most buyers in western nations will be moving into their first EV – if not their second or third – sometime in the next decade.
