Self-driving cars may have once been deemed something out of a science fiction novel, but these days companies are increasingly developing semi-autonomous vehicles that can be used on the streets and highways of Indiana and across the nation. Some may claim that, because they reduce the chance of human error, autonomous vehicles are safer than traditional vehicles and will result in fewer motor vehicle accidents.
Certain types of automated safety technologies are already common features in many automobiles. These technologies include back-up cameras, lane centering assistance and automatic emergency braking. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, by the year 2025 we may see vehicles with fully automated safety features and highway autopilot.
