• What is a self-driving car? - McKinsey

  ## How could autonomous mobility affect jobs? Autonomous mobility is poised to have a significant effect on jobs across various sectors. Adoption of autonomous vehicles will likely lead to a reduction in demand for certain roles, particularly those involving routine driving tasks. But the transition won’t happen overnight, and there will be a period where human oversight and intervention will still be required, especially in complex driving scenarios. [...] Autonomous-mobility vehicles stand to significantly transform the future of freight transportation by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and addressing labor shortages. More specifically, autonomous freight technology can optimize routes, improve fuel efficiency, and minimize downtime through predictive maintenance, all of which contribute to lower operational costs. These efficiencies are critical in an industry where margins are tight and the competition is fierce. [...] On the flip side, the rise of autonomous mobility is also expected to create new job opportunities. The development, maintenance, and management of autonomous-mobility technology will require specialized skills in areas such as software development, data analysis, and specialized system maintenance. There will also likely be new roles in remote monitoring and control of autonomous fleets, as well as in customer service and support for autonomous-mobility-related services.

• Autonomous Mobility — What It Is and What It's Not - Medium

  So then, it begs the question “what is autonomous mobility” and “how is it different from “ADAS”? Well, here’s my attempt to answer that question for the reader. First and foremost, the reader should know, or come to know, that there is a lot going on behind the scenes — lots of technical “stuff” that I won’t get into here. Let me dive right in, then, and answer the question. Autonomous Mobility (Level 5)means there is no human intervention whatsoever. It’s really that simple. No steering, no [...] It’s 2019 and everyone, I…mean…everyone, has jumped on the “bandwagon” of autonomous mobility, even those only offering ADAS and not knowing enough to know the difference (for the sake of marketing and PR). And I can hear the insults, the ‘slings and arrows’ coming my way right now after stating what I just stated. That’s right, ADAS is NOT, and NEVER will be, Autonomous Mobility. ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) is an “assistance” offered to the driver, nothing more and nothing less. [...] Sure, certain features (like automatic emergency braking aka AEB) can be_autonomous_ in that they self-activate based on a given situation or scenario, but only after alerting the driver first. Of course, self-activation of a certain feature doesn’t mean the entire system is driving the car while the driver sips on a latte while perusing through their favorite book on their smart phone of choice.

• Industrial mobility and autonomous vehicles: PwC

  We found that, while automated and autonomous mobility technologies are being developed and piloted—and, in some cases, already commercially available—manufacturers seem very much at the early stages of the adoption curve. Most manufacturers seem poised in a “wait-and-see” mode, but do expect to adopt autonomous mobility solutions once they become affordable and are proven to be reliable and safe and to demonstrate returns on investment. [...] Just 9% of manufacturers have adopted some type of semi-autonomous or autonomous mobility within their operations, with another 10% expecting to do so in the next three years The top trigger for manufacturers to adopt industrial mobility technologies (i.e., from mobile robots to autonomous trucks) is cost advantage (86%) followed by customer/supply expectations (47%) and increased safety (38%)

• Autonomous Vehicles: Timeline and Roadmap Ahead

  do not incorporate shared rides into their business models. This underscores the need for thoughtful policy measures that align autonomous mobility with cities’ transportation and sustainability goals. Without proactive regulatory frameworks, the widespread deployment of robotaxis could lead to increased congestion and inefficient fleet utilization, undermining some of the major benefits autonomous mobility aims to deliver.
