Problem of Hazardous Substances Content Reduction in Habitable Compartments of Driverless Vehicles

Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, road and environmental safety of people during vehicle operation is one of the most important problems. One of the main ways to solve this problem is development and implementation of driverless vehicles, start of operation of which on public roads is expected since 2020-2025. In the process of development, no due attention is paid to addressing the social problem of ensuring passengers’ environmental safety in habitable compartments of driverless vehicles (DLV) and modern driver-controlled vehicles. This fact may lead to the DLV implementation process restraint and negative consequences in the process of their operation as a result of harmful exposure of people’s life and health to hazardous substances in the air of habitable compartments. The objective of this research is analysis of the solutions for this social problem.
