The Use Of Advanced Technologies : Driverless Vehicles

Driverless cars are the technology of the future. There is no longer a need to drive using your hands, just type in your destination in the GPS, and the car gets you there. These cars are still being tested, but they are expected to get on the roads soon. There are some drawbacks that have held up the process to let these cars on the roads, but the companies will fix these problems. Driverless cars have a lower crash rate than humans, they are safe, and don’t make mistakes like people do on the road.

    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.

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.

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.

The use of IoT in the development of autonomous vehicles has led to the general reduction of fatalities (Sheng et.al, 2013). The reduction of fatalities is from the following aspects of driverless cars which are improved on by the use of IoT in the vehicle technology.

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

The last part of the driverless car system is the Central Computer. The Central Computer reads the data the LIDAR and Computer Vision give and decides where it will guide the car with the steering, acceleration, and brakes. This computer can determine whether it will hit something directly in front of it or anticipate a possible car crash 200 feet

The Information Age ushered America into an unprecented era of technological advancement. With the advent of the Internet, everything suddenly became digitalized. No longer was it the case that computers were the only thing that could connect to the world wide web. Nowadays, everything from phones to even entire houses can be connected and controlled by the owner using the Internet. A new technological innovation is currently in the works: driverless cars, powered by sensors and Internet connectivity, are about to hit the market.

The self-driving vehicles will not only save lives, but also transform our lives. Self-driving cars will provide new mobility to millions of elderly and people with disabilities who today have few, if any, options for mobility. They will change how we get around and, as a result, what we do. They will change how we interact with our children and our families. They will change the choices we make on a daily basis-from how we commute to what we do for work.

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.

In the past, people were attracted by science fiction because of that high technology equipment, and now it is possible to make those high-tech products come true. “Autonomous Car” (n.d.), the self-driving car is a vehicle that people can use it without any driving skill. The vehicle has to use the Internet to connect with the host computer. The function of the host computer is to control the self-driving car. A self-driving car is also known as a car robot car, self-driving car, and autonomous vehicle or driverless. In turn, the car people use now a day, although some of them are hybrid car or electric car, without connecting with the computer or Internet, they are still the traditional cars. Bogost (2014) pointed out that in 1964, the famous

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
