World’s top court targets fossil fuels + Driverless cars are here

Thursday Headlines: International Court of Justice says countries are liable for when it comes to climate harm, Australia has made a second payment of $800 million to the US for the Aukus agreement, House prices have risen in every state and territory in the country for the first time in four years, A fourth person has been charged in connection with the death of actor Mathew Perry, and our divorce rates are at their lowest in 50 years with marriages lasting longer.

Deep Dive: Would you jump into a car with no one behind the wheel? While videos of Teslas changing lanes and driverless taxis navigating the streets of San Francisco and LA have gone viral, autonomous vehicles are closer to becoming a reality in Australia than you might think.

Driverless cars are already being trialled on public roads across the country, but new research shows one in five Aussies are turning off in-built safety features like lane departure warnings and emergency braking, admitting they don’t trust the technology.

In this episode of The Briefing Helen Smith is joined by Professor Michael Milford, Director of QUT’s Centre for Robotics to explain why Australia is still behind despite being a world leader in the development of autonomous vehicle technology.
