Public road automation has been a phrase on everybody’s lips in the automotive world for more than a decade, but the challenges are misjudged, and the question is: Has public road automation only been a playground for technical nerds rather than addressing real-world pain points? Or have the real-world problems been a subterfuge for playing around with technology? For sure, increased traffic safety is something that needs to be further addressed, but will automation really be the solution to a reduction in fatalities? In December 2015, Elon Musk said that Tesla cars will drive themselves within two years [1], and still there is no self-driving Tesla car. Since then, Elon has repeated this mantra every now and then. Tesla’s Full Self-Driving feature has been much debated lately because of safety flaws.

十多年来，公共道路自动化一直是汽车界每个人都挂在嘴边的一个词，但人们对挑战的判断是错误的，问题是：公共道路自动化是否只是技术宅的游乐场，而不是解决现实世界的痛点？还是现实世界的问题只是玩弄技术的借口？当然，提高交通安全是需要进一步解决的问题，但自动化真的能成为减少死亡人数的解决方案吗？ 2015年12月，埃隆·马斯克表示，特斯拉汽车将在两年内实现自动驾驶[1]，但目前还没有自动驾驶特斯拉汽车。从那时起，埃隆时不时地重复这句话。特斯拉的全自动驾驶功能最近因安全缺陷而备受争议。
