Traffic jam, security; the automobile industry promises with the autonomous car to solve many of the current problems of road transport. Still, the lifespan of these vehicles could dangerously approach that of computers and computers.
"We will exhaust and destroy a car every four years," says John Rich Telegraph, COO of Ford Autonomous Vehicles. 4 years, compared to 12 years currently seen on the French fleet.
What seriously ask the question of the relevance of the economic model of vehicle sales. Or to rethink it. "Today's vehicles spend most of the day parked," says Rich. "To develop a profitable and viable business model for (autonomous vehicles), they must be running most of the day." Hence the idea of selling these vehicles not to private individuals but to VTC companies for example.
Less time of possession, more use
Thus, autonomous cars would last much less than conventional cars currently owned by individuals but would be much more used. And so would last less. While this makes sense from an economic point of view, this comparison of vehicle life expectancy with that of computer hardware also shows a need to renew hardware more frequently as technology updates become more and more important. frequent.
