#SheDrivesMobility #51 - Carolina of Bosch speaks about autonomous driving

I really like the exchange with such people, because they give
their point of view in an appreciative and simple way and accept
the fact that currently only a minority is in touch with the big
change in mobility.I also asked Carolina to explain the different
levels of autonomous driving as an introduction to our talk - this
goes from level 0 (which corresponds to a normal car) to level 5
(fully autonomous). And I love her picture, which makes it clear
what this means: You can first take your hand off the handlebars,
then your eyes, and at the end (at level 5) even your brain off the
road, because the car can take over everything for you. We talk
about the opportunities of autonomous driving, the MUST of thinking
in systems and we take a trip around the world and look at the
different countries and their unfortunately very different
approaches to autonomous driving. An autonomous driving car will
NEVER produce more errors than a human, yet it is right to set high
standards for these vehicles. Carolina sees opportunities
especially for people who are already struggling to move well
through life. After all, autonomous vehicles come on demand and
bring the function that is needed: Space for a stroller,
accessibility - or even a car just for me. But - and this is
fantastic - I no longer have to buy a car just for me, I pay for
the mobility I need at that exact moment. This frees up time for me
AND details like urban space in equal measure. Carolina puts a big
question mark on Tesla's claim to be close to Level 5, estimating
that Waymo is ahead and Tesla is about Level 2.
