The History Of The Driverless Car

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?

    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.

The autonomous car has always been seen as product of the future, yet it dates back as early as the 1920s. In 1925, Houdina Radio Control introduced the first driverless car, the “Linrrican Wonder.” The car was controlled by a transmitting antenna, and a second car followed closely behind it and released radio signals that operated small electric motors within the autonomous car. The “Linrrican Wonder” was successfully able to navigate through a traffic jam in New York City without a driver. Norman Melancton Bel Geddes, an industrial designer, built upon the idea of a radio-controlled electric car in his 1939 exhibit

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right!” Henry ford said this to us and was able to prove it when he created the Model T car. Nobody thought it was possible to create a more reliable, affordable car but he knew he could, and he did it. Throughout the years we have been able to create newer technology for our cars making them safer, faster, and more affordable. Our technology has grown so much, that we have been able to create driverless cars. These cars are able to sense their surroundings around them, and drive without human association. But this raises a question for many, can a computer system replace a human at the wheel?

Imagine never having to touch a steering wheel again and using this time at your leisure. According to the article PRO/CON: Will self-driving cars be good for America? By Robert Peterson and Eric Peters, Tribune News Service this may be part of our not-so-distant future. Recently many companies have been experimenting with driverless car technology and this could mean a whole new generation of driving. This new driverless car is the safe, clean, and refreshing gateway to the future of automobiles.

Did you know that driverless cars are most likely going to be in our future? Neither did I but the driverless cars would be able to reduce traffic jams, save billions on gasoline, and can communicate with each other and the environment around them. The fact that driverless cars are going to be a part of our future is big, so we need to give them a chance.

Have you ever been extremely late for school or your occupations and wish you could just get ready in the car? Automotive cars are planned to come out sometime in the near future of the year 2020. I know this new technological advancement seems scary, but with the ways it will benefit us remarkable. Self-driving cars would impact our advanced society in many positive ways because the streets would become less congested, the innovations for cars have worked before, and the amount of deaths would be lessened.

Do you think that driverless car are coming in the future to help us out? Driverless cars will be here before you know it, but will they be a good thing or a bad one. Driverless cars will not be a good thing because you still need to learn how to learn, they will be expensive, and if the driverless car crashes no one would be liable.

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

Driverless cars are the next big thing and something a lot of people are excited for, but who should be responsible if the car crashes? And If a car does crash would you the driver really want to take responsibility? Driverless cars can be very dangerous. An article called Tesla Bears Some Blame for Self-Driving Crash Death, Feds Say “the system should only have been used on highways with clear lane markings, strict medians, and exit and entrance ramps. So when a tractor trailer turning left crossed into the Model S's lane, the system did not recognize it” One of the deaths that have occurred with driverless car was when the car thought that it was perfectly fine and following the right path, but because the driver wasn't paying attention

In the advancement of AI systems, there is going to be change on the way we commute. The driverless car that is capable of driving itself and it is one of the hottest ongoing developments now. This is going to be very beneficial for human beings soon and it all set to take away the traffic accidents, traffic congestions on the road and much more. By specifying the source and destination in the driverless car, we will only be passengers in the car, the car systems do the driving the job for us. There are various intelligent components involved in building up the driverless cars.

In recent discussions of growing technology, a controversial issue has been whether we are ready for the advancements of driverless vehicles. On the one hand, some argue that these advancements have already proven that we are ready. On the other hand, however, others argue that we need to have more experience with the technology before we can be ready. In sum, then, the issue is are we ready or not for driver-less cars. While others think that driverless vehicles can’t be trusted yet without a commission to help lawmakers with regulating the vehicles and government officials that know more about this technology to better watch over it, I believe that we are ready for this new evolving automobile because driverless vehicles already has too much potential beginning with its self-automated breaking system and warnings.

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

The first idea of self-driving cars dates back to 1939, when the vision was debuted by General Motors, at a sponsored exhibit at the World’s Fair in New York. The autonomous car was shown as part of a display called “Futurama”. Part of this display included automated highways and expressways, but the exhibit also had the idea of self-driving cars. Even though the designer Norman Bel Geddes had these ideas then, working prototypes would not be seen for another 40 years.
