COMMENT: Do autonomous cars need manuals?

People reach for their car manuals less and less. A recent survey conducted by Nuance found that 67% of drivers either never or rarely use them. In fact, nearly a quarter reported looking at the manual only once after buying the car.

However, the waning usage isn’t to say that the information that manuals hold isn’t useful – nor will its value decrease as connected car networks become more complex. Instead, car manufacturers must think about the best channels on which they can communicate this essential information.
