Viewpoint: Driverless cars are not today’s answer for safer roads

Précis:

“Let’s not get too in thrall with the driverless car ‘Space Race’ – we can make our roads safer now, using current telematics technologies,” says Martin Hiscox, CEO of Masternaut.

There’s a bit of a driverless car “Space Race” on at the moment, with the likes of Google, Audi, Volvo and BMW all working hard to develop and demonstrate driverless cars in action.

It’s great to future-gaze, but that’s exactly what we’re looking at – the far-off future.
