Develops Driver Assistance Systems ( Das )

Imagine being able to get into your car and simply typing in your desired destination, and then reclining your seat to watch a movie or text a friend. During this time, the car is basically driving itself. Well, soon this may be possible this invention is called an autonomous car. An autonomous car, or driverless/ robotic car, is a car that is designed to drive without human interference. Essentially, drivers can program their destination into the car’s GPS system and then sit back and relax. Some of the world’s largest car companies are currently creating autonomous vehicles, such as Audi, Toyota, Volvo, Mercedes, and countless others. The driverless vehicle is now becoming a clearer and more present reality, and has been discussed and planned for decades. The autonomous vehicle offers significant benefits, but raises many questions and difficulties.

Cars are something that almost every person has or will use in their everyday life or need to use their car to get to and from work or school everyday. Well in this paper you will learn about what technology has done to change the Automotive Industry as well as your everyday life. This paper will be focusing on the Technologies inside of the car, along with the Technologies that keep you safe and also a little bit about Self-Driving Cars. So fasten your seatbelts while you are reading this paper.

A major issue for drivers today is congestion. When a car brake, the driver behind takes a couple of seconds to react and stop. Now, this goes on and on, causing heavy traffic and wasting everyone’s irreplaceable time. Autonomous cars are expected to have a completely revamped traffic system, one lacking traffic lights and stop signs. Vehicles will be capable of communicating with each other by transferring crucial information via sensors, allowing

As technology progresses, so do the needs and wants of people, societies, and governments. Since the first car was created in 1885 by Karl Benz, there have been significant improvements over time such as the brake, radio, air-conditioning, seat belt, and air bag. In today’s world, the use of self-driving cars has progressed from a dream into a reality. Companies like BMW and Tesla have already implemented the self-driving feature into their cars. The use of self-driving cars will continue to become more popular and will eventually become an essential part of society.

For the past few years, self-driving technology has been being tested in vehicles. These types of vehicles could be used by society soon. Some people already own cars that can parallel park for them, or warn drivers if they are

Sensors are used almost in every device from cell phones to the giant aero planes and aircrafts. In order for driverless vehicle to stay on the road, avoid collisions and obey traffic laws, they rely on a series of sensors that help the vehicle understand the environment in which they are travelling. By the combination of ultrasonic, radar, image, and LIDAR sensors; they all have their own different purpose.

After its success, Google founders were convinced that autonomous vehicles were going to be the next technological breakthrough. In 2012, Google added the Lexus RX450h to the project, and the self driving cars drove more than 300,000 miles on their own on freeways with test drivers. Also in 2012, they moved to more complex cities with pedestrians, road work, cyclists, etc. Googles’ vehicles have sensors and software that can detect object/people with a distance up two football fields. Google claims that these vehicles can adjust to unexpected changes in the road such as railroad crossings, and closed lanes. These vehicles are also able to stay out of blind spots and keep a distance with larger vehicles. Google’s self driving cars include a laser, a processor, position sensors, orientation sensors, and radar.

Civilization has reach extents that we had once dreamed of. We had converted ideas into reality and exceeded the limit of possibility. Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Driverless cars; These are just three out of dozens and dozens of achievements that have defined the term 'we live in the future'. But although they may seem flawless and futuristic, we shan't ignore the complications they could possibly form, specifically the thought of driverless cars. Even though they can reduce the rate of deaths caused by unintelligent and reckless drivers, one couldn't possibly know the outcomes produced by an unsupervised, automated vehicle. Positively, and negatively.

However self-driving cars have a number of issues to be addressed before it is being rolled for public usage. For example, self-driving cars will still need to be piloted by human drivers as the public feels much safer and also reliable due to the driver taking over when the cars malfunction. As shown in the Johannes Weyer, Robin D. Fink, Fabian Adelt (2015) research, “individuals wanted to have more choices to take control over their vehicles, and also some concerns regarding reliability of their vehicles”. Another issue is also the security of the self-driving car. Possibilities of it getting hacked is another hurdle. A virus could easily disrupt sensors or even cause disruptions to key infrastructural systems. As stated by Hickey (2012),

To operate safely, driverless cars need to be able to detect obstacles and hazards, such as other cars and pedestrians. A multitude of sensors and state of the art cameras are incorporated into the driverless cars. The sophisticated hardware together with highly intricate software algorithms detect obstacles on the road including other cars, pedestrians and other objects.

The autonomous vehicle is a vehicle that can drive itself without having human input. These vehicles are programmed with complex algorithms to mimic human behavior, but also operate on a level of consistency that humans have a hard time replicating. As we move into a new era of transportation, automotive vehicles are going to help change the way society operates. Why change a system that we have been using for over one hundred years? In the automobiles of today, we have to get in and manually give the car inputs. Since human error is natural, a lot can go wrong when you are moving a two ton chunk of metal at alarming speeds. That is where autonomous vehicles (AVs) help us. Over the years we have found the need to remove the human element

Research in the automotive domain has turned towards discarding the driver completely, relieving him/her of the task of driving making vehicles capable of driving autonomously and even maintaining itself when necessary. This is achieved by integrating various sensors into the car design combined with embedding more processing power to process, analyze, classify, decide and control. This would enable vehicles to make optimal decisions taking into consideration various intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the decision making process. As a result autonomous driving technology could improve traffic flow and highway capacity, decrease pollution and fuel consumption of vehicles and also allows drivers/passengers to perform other productive activities. Autonomous vehicles are viewed as

purposes of this primer we focus purely on the opportunities to target the mobile customer base
