Will autonomy augment or replace the human? Author, angel investor and Cannonball Run record holder, Alex Roy, addresses this question in the above interview, filmed at the 2018 SmartDrivingCar Summit. As the founder of Human Driving Association, his view echos that of car designer and futurist Michael Robinson in that the automation features must improve safety, while effectively becoming an extension of the human.
Roy describes the Human Driving Association and its efforts to responsibly implement automation to improve all aspects of vehicle safety. Check out the Human Driving Association’s manifesto, which includes a proposal for a “Constitutional Amendment, creating a right to drive, within the limits of safety technologies that do not infringe upon our freedom of movement.”
