Abstract

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are expected to considerably reduce pollution, energy consumption as well as car accidents in the very near future. In spite of all these promising perspectives, the expansion of such technology is encountering significant obstacles going beyond the simple technical difficulties. In this paper the issues dealing with car insurance, regulations, cybersecurity, real world poorly regular environments and technical limitations are treated aiming at giving an overview about such revolutionary technology.
