This article tries to explain the reason why driverless vehicles may taketime to be adapted to the public transportation regardless of the fast pace oftechnological innovation. The author cites societal friction as the most significantimpediment to full automation. This is evidenced by the extent of blames on the fatalcrash in Ohio. This article offers relevant information to the possible impediment tofull automation.Arjun, Kharpal. “Driving drunk or on drugs in a driverless car should be legal, expert body says”.

The leadership is itselfundecided between adopting this new technology and at the same time exercisecaution since it is a new idea. This article gives insight into the slow process ofimplementation of autonomous vehicles in various states.Filler, Lane.
