Research and write an analysis on the application of autonomous technology in transportation.
that addresses global, economic, environmental and societal aspects.
Consider the following questions as a guideline (These questions are not an exhaustive list of
discussion points for your paper)
• How does this technology affect the environment or society in general?
• What other technical solutions have been proposed recently to address transportation
issues?
• What are the economic tradeoffs (costs & benefits)? In other words, what will be the
environmental/societal cost if these solutions are not implemented?
In exploring technologies and solutions, consider the following elements as they relate to
“Environmentally Responsible Design”:
• Energy Efficiency in Operation and Manufacturing
• Green Materials – Uses recycled materials and can be recycled
• Sustainability in Operation and Manufacturing (long lifecycles and renewable)
• Air Quality and Noise Considerations
• Waste Control
• Equipment and Tooling Efficiency
“Societal Elements”:
• Safety
• Security
• Privacy by design
• Universal Access
• Considerations for ethics and human values
