OPLIN 4cast #504: Fast and furious: self-driving vehicles
August 24th, 2016

[image: Self driving car] In case you hadn't already heard, Columbus, Ohio
(where our office is located) was chosen as the winner of the Smart Cities
Challenge
<http://readwrite.com/2016/06/22/rumored-columbus-oh-won-dot-smart-cities-challenge-cl1/>
earlier this year. This means millions of dollars will be invested into
changing the mobility landscape of the city. The program will bring new
transportation marvels such as autonomous trucks,

others. The world of self-driving vehicles is evolving rapidly, and
bringing new ideas... and new issues.
- Get to know each other aboard this self-driving motorcycle
<https://www.wired.com/2016/08/get-know-aboard-self-driving-motorcycle/>
[WIRED]
"Inside this enclosed, autonomous motorcycle, two passengers would sit
facing one another, given a rare chance to relax, chat, and get to know one
another (or ignore each other and look at their phones)."
- How Pittsburgh Birthed the Age of the Self-Driving Car
<https://www.wired.com/2016/08/pittsburgh-birthed-age-self-driving-car/>
[WIRED] "IN THE NEXT few weeks, some Pittsburghers will get a bunch of
surprises when they call an Uber. First, the car will be a Volvo XC90—a
luxury SUV a good deal fancier than the seemingly standard-issue Prius.
Second, the ride will be free. And third, it’ll be driven by a robot."
- Self-driving? You’re gonna need a bigger data plan
<http://readwrite.com/2016/08/19/autonomous-cars-will-require-new-wireless-standard-tl4>
[ReadWrite]
"To put it another way, an estimated four petabytes of data is going to be
generated by each autonomous car on the road every year."
- Self-driving cars: overlooking data privacy is a car crash waiting to
happen
<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/08/self-driving-car-legislation-drones-data-security>
[The
Guardian] "What’s most notable about these early regulatory attempts is not
that they are varied – that is to be expected. It’s that the regulations
deal mostly with physical safety, leaving privacy and cybersecurity issues
almost wholly unexamined."
