Google 's Car : The Revolutionary Next Step

Twenty-first century technology secretly move in every corner of our life, computer, television, even our fridge. Technology not only become the things that can make our life easier but also become things that we needed. Over the last two years, driverless car become a hot topic. Is it safe? Should we really commit our life to computer’s care? Is the technology we have nowadays able to support driverless car?

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.

Transition to next point (signpost, review, preview): Now that we have talked about the mechanism of two built-in technology autonomous cars of two very best car company, let’s talk about how these cars will be different

Manufacturers across the globe like Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Google, Apple, and Audi are all in a race to produce the most efficient way of travel. The most efficient seems to be driverless cars, before they were an unachievable dream, but now they are a reality. Although the most difficult concept of this all is to figure out how they work. Driverless cars are a new technology made from many older technologies combined, such as the LIDAR system, Computer Vision systems, and Central Hub computer systems. Investments from some countries like the U.K., who has invested 100 million pounds (130 million U.S.), have driven some of these companies to field test the cars in everyday environments in places

Many people agree that driverless cars aren’t safe. I also don’t agree that these cars are safe. The reason for that are going to be explained in the following paragraphs.

Because the technology of driverless cars still not mature, there are many issues, like how to deal with the priority problems between regular vehicles and driverless cars (based on driving conditions realities case), need to be considered. Also, not all the people can suddenly accept a new thing in their life, so driverless cars may not can be accepted by all. However, driverless cars are more friendly to those elders or disabled people to transfer from a place to another. In addition, after driverless cars replace normal cars, people will have more free time which used to be the driving time. Generally, I hope the high technology can be more convenience to human’s life, and I want to try the driverless in the

Notably, autonomous cars with smart technology use intelligent mapping and sensors in order to park the vehicle or avoid obstacles that come in the way. However, Google’s self-driving car accident statistics put light on the fact that even with all these technological advancements, it is highly possible that the autonomous car might crash.

Google has announced that their self-driving cars will be on the road in two to five years. The company hopes that they will in America by 2020 but even if they are not people wonder if they will be safe and if we are ready to share the road with these vehicles. I believe that we will be ready for self-driving cars on the roads because we already have vehicles with system to prevent collisions such as early warnings and automatic lane changing from tesla motors. John Villasenor is a professor of electrical engineering and public policy at the University of California, Los Angeles, he is also a member of the World Economic Forum's Global

The Google driverless car is a test vehicle in deployed in several locations and has logged more than a million miles on the road. The car was stopped because it was going 24 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour area.

In the paper, the point of view will be Google’s. Questions that will be answered in the paper including but not limited to the economical and technical viability for Google to produce Google car in a large scale, reasons that Google will succeed or fail, the best strategy for Google to adopt. For the industry analysis, Porter’s five forces (Appendix 1) will be used to explore the environment of the automobile industry and if Google will be able to enter the industry and produce automobiles on its own. The financials of Google will also be analyzed to prove if it is economically capable of investing enough capitals in the system and manufacturing automobiles. A SWOT analysis and discussion of the competitive advantages of

Mercedes-Benz is a comprehend brand, everybody in this world know the brand of Mercedes-Benz. There are some who have not seen the brand but instead has thought about it sometime as of late. That is the way how successful the brand is. Mercedes-Benz has been a pioneer being developed following the time that they started in the year of 1886. Various improvements have been envisioned by Mercedes-Benz as year’s cruises by. For e.g. counting 4-Wheel Independent Suspension, crash testing program, Antilock Braking System (ABS), Tele Aid and Attention Assist. Not only that, they already have future plans ahead of them like for example, the DICE System which is fit for seeing and using a driver's hand improvement to make a custom virtual dashboard and Autonomous which will be the self-driving automobile. Mercedes holds licenses on the lion's offer of security components. Which is

Abstract— The main purpose of the paper is to develop a prototype of Black Box for vehicle diagnosis that can be installed into any vehicle. Like flight data recorders in aircraft, "Black Box” technology plays a key role in vehicle crash investigations. This prototype can be designed with minimum number of circuits. This can contribute to construct safer vehicles, improving the treatment for crash victims, helping insurance companies with their vehicle crash investigations, and enhancing road status in order to decrease the death rate. The prototype provides complete information about the car along with Navigation system in collaboration with Google Earth. The prototype can provide Artificial Intelligence Support by having a communication channel between the user and the car. Car-To-Car Communication for analyzing abruptness in the forthcoming vehicle before it intends to collide is a major field studied in the paper along with live analysis through experiments.

Autonomous Vehicles are already being developed by the majority of the automobile companies as Audi, GM, Toyota among others, however, the approach on the technology development to achieve the autonomy is not the same for all of them. Some companies want so they invest a lot in artificial intelligence and software development. On the other side companies such as Toyota have the objective to improve the safety features on their cars, doing for that a lot of research on sensors and ECU (Electronic Control Units). In this project was researched 7 major companies that are currently investing in autonomous cars, being Google the only one that is new on the automobile industry but, accordingly to researches carried out by the group, the most advanced on this new type of technology, showing expressive results in their monthly reports

Overview: Google was ranked the most popular “multi-platform web” resource used in the United States according to a recent survey conducted by comScore (2016). Since the initial launch of Google, founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have watched their company’s success expand and grow in various ways, the journey towards the Driverless Car is just another step closer to the future for Google. The Official Google blog gives customers a backstage pass, and humanizes the inner workings of a seemingly electronic based cooperation. The introduction of this new product goal aligns within the company’s original company message of wanting to fix consumer problems: “Larry and Sergey founded Google because they wanted to help solve really big problems using technology. And one of the big problems we’re working on today is car safety and efficiency. Our goal is to help prevent traffic accidents, free up people’s time and reduce carbon emissions by fundamentally changing car use” (Thrun, 2010).
