Self-driving cars are on the verge of becoming a reality in Australia, with experts predicting their introduction in specific areas like airports and retirement communities. The Queensland Department of Transport has already tested an autonomous vehicle named 'ZOE.2', indicating readiness for such technology. However, widespread deployment of fully autonomous vehicles may still be a decade away.
The use of autonomous vehicles is expected to be more practical in controlled environments, such as mining sites, where companies like BHP have successfully implemented autonomous trucks. Experts believe that advancements in AI and safety features could significantly reduce road trauma, with predictions of saving thousands of lives by 2050. While the technology is evolving, legal and safety regulations must be updated to facilitate the safe integration of self-driving cars into Australian roads.
