However, technology has both advantages and disadvantages but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages (Restivo, 2008). Technologies used in autonomous/driverless vehicles According to Wadhwa (2017), the driverless vehicle's technology has progressed faster over the years. There are various technologies that enhance the performance of these cars. We have the lidar, which is a rotating
Autonomous Vehicles Perla Espinoza, Odelkys Marquez, Christopher Bradbeer, Franki Vallejo Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering University of South Florida Abstract This paper will go in depth of the benefits of autonomous vehicles as well as who will be taking advantage of these benefits. There will also be a section about the technology advances that will come with future autonomous vehicles. There will be a brief discussion about the possible disadvantages that may come with these vehicles
Autonomous Driving Bhavani Ananda, Matriculation number: 388812 Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology Technische Universität Chemnitz, Germany Abstract— Autonomous vehicles are increasing in these days.

A driverless, or autonomous, car is a car that is able to operate and drive itself without the need of human interaction. Autonomous cars are able to navigate independently by using systems like GPS, radar and are able to sense the environment around the car by using sensors. Many major car companies, including Ford, General Motors, Audi, BMW and Volvo, have begun testing autonomous car systems. General Motors predict they could have a fully autonomous car on the road as soon as 2018[1]. There are
1920 people have begun to envision and research the possibility of a self-driving car. Autonomous cars are no longer a simply an idea for the future with current technologies we are very close to having consumer product available. Now the question is are autonomous cars going to be safe for the road. With new technology being developed and refined many company have begun to design their own versions of autonomous cars. Based on the huge backing of companies combined with possibilities of modern day
something that cannot happen to a computer. It is also scary to know that human driven vehicles come at a very higher cost in terms of danger. Engineers have developed a new and innovative technology that is capable to decrease that number and change our lives forever. This technology is being specifically applied to cars and they are being called “autonomous cars”. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, autonomous means “acting independently or having the freedom to do so”. Tesla Motors Company has
Driverless vehicles are those in which operation of the vehicle occurs without direct driver input to control the steering, acceleration, and braking and are designed so that the driver is not expected to constantly monitor the roadway while operating in self-driving mode. They are also called autonomous vehicles and self-driving vehicles. Driverless vehicles would revolutionize the whole automotive industry. The self-driving vehicles will not only save lives but also transform our lives. Self- driving
entire vehicles. Cloud This last one is not actually sensor but you can say it is a sensor because it gives the report and status of the road ahead. You can actually get the data of what’s ahead at the road? And what are the conditions? They will share the information with each other and decisions will be made on the information collected. “At last but not the least the cloud, they serve as a dynamic electronic horizon- it offers highly accurate real-time map data that vehicles draw on
“Self-Driven Automotive Vehicle” An autonomous vehicle, also known as a driverless vehicle, driver-free vehicle, self-driving vehicle, self-driven vehicle or robot vehicle. They are capable of achieving the transportation functions of a traditional vehicle. As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of identifying its environment and piloting without human interaction. Robotic vehicle exist primarily as prototypes and demonstration systems. In 2014, the only self-driving vehicles that are commercially
