Self-Driving Cars: Pros and Cons for the Public's Health - a podcast by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

No longer the stuff of science fiction, driverless cars already are being tested in numerous U.S. markets. These autonomous vehicles may revolutionize the automotive world, potentially reducing human error, reshaping transportation systems and transforming the country’s roadway infrastructure. However recent deaths linked to self-driving technology have caused concern about safety and have raised questions about whether the field is moving too quickly. In this Forum, experts reviewed current technology, regulation, realistic long-term plans, and the risks and benefits of a driverless future.

This Forum event was presented jointly with NBC News Digital on May 4, 2018.
