Are we going to sit in autonomous vehicles soon, just relaxing and being driven around? In this episode of »Good Question«, experts from TU Dresden talk about the current status of autonomous driving in Germany, the technical requirements for the cars and the necessary infrastructure on the roads. And about the ethics of autonomous driving: Who is at fault when autonomous vehicles crash?
