Technology And The Automotive Domain

    Driverless vehicles, or the self-driving car, is defined as any car with features that allow it to accelerate, brake, and steer a car’s course with limited or no driver interaction (BI Intelligence par.4). When most people hear the term “driverless vehicle”, people instantly think cars that drive all by themselves, meaning that the vehicles are able to completely control themselves while the driver can sit back in the driver’s seat as if they were the passenger. The reality is that it will actually be a few years before fully self-automated vehicles will make their debut on the road, but for now the car companies and manufacturers are adding self-driving features of the latest models of cars. For example, the 2016 BMW i3 has the capability to self-park itself without the need of the driver to control the steering wheel. This reduces the risk of the driver hitting another vehicle while

Self driving vehicles is a huge change in our society. We are taking the next step into the future and creating something bigger than ever. Driverless cars can be a good thing and a bad thing in todays society. We depend on so many things now, the older we get and the more time goes on, the lazier we get. Being Americans, we are putting our thoughts and ideas to the ultimate test to create something so dangerous but so efficient. We have thought of ideas that would make our lives "easier" and less stressful. In this paper I will describe how driverless cars work, the current problems and setbacks that we are having, and how this new technology is being put to use today.

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.

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 many advantages to autonomous cars such as fewer traffic collisions, reduced congestion, relieves the occupants of navigation duties so they are free to do other things, and autonomous cars can be used by anyone even if they have a disability

“Our Driverless Future” is an article narrated in the third person point of view. In this article, Halpern expresses the many concerns with autonomous vehicles that will be created and used in the near future. She begins by stating that semiautonomous cars equipped with new technologies and safety features, such as “autopilot” mode, actually focus the driver’s attention to many areas but the road. It is already seen that due to these features, there is an increase in collisions and a lack of safety on the road. Therefore, Google and other companies proposed the idea of self-driving vehicles that eliminate split responsibility between the driver and the car. Although this mobility revolution might sound appealing to some people, especially young

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

The new idea of having driverless cars everywhere is a recent development in the works. People have dreamed of having driverless cars for years and they are starting to become a reality. At the same time, there is currently semi-driverless cars that require the driver to pay attention and place their hands on the steering wheel to maneuver the car every once in a while. Sooner or later, driverless cars will be introduced to the public road. The current situation is safety on the road. Driverless cars are in mind to help resolve a number of car accidents that occur

In the United States, driver error is the primary factor to blame for automobile deaths. According to the National Safety Council, in 2015, over thirty-eight thousand people died in car crashes. On average, that is 194 people killed a day. It is unacceptable to lose so many lives each year to this tragedy. Unfortunately, society has accepted this as the price of convenient transportation. However, there is an alternative. In recent years, the feasibility of affordable driverless cars is becoming a reality. The pace of current progress points to a future where driverless cars will replace humans at the wheel.

Driving a vehicle is a very complex activity that demands proper decision-making, total concentration, good co-ordination and rapid reflexes. In order to drive safely, it is essential to be alert, aware and able to make quick decisions in response to a constant rapidly changing environment.

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.

A new technology is approaching, and it may change the world forever. Imagine a planet where traffic does not exist and there are no more drunk drivers on the roads putting people’s lives in danger. With the invention of self-driving cars, this dream world can be made into reality. A self-driving car is exactly what it sounds like, a car that operates on its own without a human driver. They have raised many controversies as to whether this invention is good or bad. Many people believe that self-driving cars are a threat to humanity, but it is the complete opposite. Self- Driving Cars will have a positive impact on society for many different reasons.

Your future has arrived, are you ready? Twenty years ago if you had told somebody that driverless vehicles would be driving us around our cities and on our highways, they would have smiled and said only in the movies. Now it is not so farfetched. Driverless cars are fast becoming reality. Just as computers did, driverless cars will change the way we live. And like any other innovation, it would free up time for more creative thinking. In recent years, we have seen small improvements to our cars, making them more automated. Bluetooth and GPS play a big role while driving our cars. GPS will navigate for us without using a map, and Bluetooth allows us to go hands free to concentrate on driving. So, is a fully autonomous car good or

Modern technology is progressing nowadays with an enormous speed and faster than ever. Scientists are in the race of creating smaller, faster and less power consuming micro chips and entire systems everyday. The world is trying to computerize and make everything as smart as possible, so people can use these systems in their favors by simplifying their everyday lives. Cars haven't been left without the attention either. A little more than 100 year ago, the first Ford car became available to public and was the first mass-produced automobile which, basically, consisted of a cabin, steering wheel and wheels. Since then, cars evolved a lot and what defines a car today are multiple sensors, electronics that control many aspects of driving and all that is connected by nearly 1,500 wires with 1 mile in total length [1]. Scientists don’t want to stop on the achieved, and their current goal is to develop and mass-produce autonomous cars.There are many ethical issues that arise around self-driving cars and I will discuss some of them and explain why I think that the process of automating the cars should be delayed until, at least, we have more sophisticated technology for that.

This talk is about Artificial Intelligence in the form of self-driving cars. Thrun and his group at Stanford University decided to build a different self-driving car with new hardware and software. The cars that they developed is so technologically advanced due to its inclusion of different sensors who allow the car to see, these sensors, in fact, helps the cars make decisions about every aspect of driving. This idea can help people in the prevention of death since driving accidents are the number one cause of death for young people. Also in the presenter's case, this idea could have helped in the prevention on the death of his close friend

Cars represent a big part of people’s everyday life. They are used to go visit ancestors or colleagues; many need them for work or getting to school faster. But drivers need loads of concentration and accidents are caused because something distracts them. That is why engineers and software developers for Google, Volvo and other companies, have been working on driverless vehicles for the last years. They are designed to make lives easier in a bunch of ways. While they provide a new kind of functionality, they operate different than cars that need a driver. Whereas the new possibilities they present are not all known yet, it is a certainty that they will also cause problems that did not exist before. The only thing
