Driverless car is on trend right now that some large companies are in the testing phase of it before releasing it for public use. Although there are some advantages of its use, there are still challenges that need to be resolved such as policies and regulations aimed at preventing road users safe.
LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, noted that self-driving cars are not only permissible but mandatory in most spaces. In addition, according to Google, it seems that the biggest challenge of the driverless car is potentially human driver as there were a few times when Google was testing its driverless car; he was struck by a human driver in the back as he or she was distracted by something and not paying attention to the road.
