- A self-driving car (also known as an autonomous car or a driverless car) is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input.
- Autonomous cars combine a variety of techniques to perceive their surroundings, including radar, laser light, GPS, odometry, and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage.
- The potential benefits of autonomous cars include reduced mobility and infrastructure, increased safety, increased mobility, increased customer satisfaction, and reduced crime. These benefits also include a potentially significant reduction in traffic collisions.
- Including less need for insurance. Automated cars are predicted to increase traffic flow,provide enhanced mobility for children, the elderly,disabled, and the poor; relieve travelers from driving and navigation chores; lower fuel consumption; significantly reduce needs for parking space,reduce crime
- Facilitate business models for transportation as a service, especially via the sharing economy.
Levels of driving automation:
- Level 1 ("hands on"): The driver and the automated system share control of the vehicle.
- Level 2 ("hands off"): The automated system takes full control of the vehicle (accelerating, braking, and steering). The driver must monitor the driving and be prepared to intervene immediately at any time if the automated system fails to respond properly.
- Level 3 ("eyes off"): The driver can safely turn their attention away from the driving tasks, e.g. the driver can text or read a book. The vehicle will handle situations that call for an immediate response, like emergency braking. The driver must still be prepared to intervene within some limited time, specified by the manufacturer, when called upon by the vehicle to do so.
- Level 4 ("mind off"): As level 3, but no driver attention is ever required for safety, i.e. the driver may safely go to sleep or leave the driver's seat.
- Level 5 ("steering wheel optional"): No human intervention is required at all. An example would be a robotic taxi.
This shows the vast disruptive potential of the emerging technology.
with the power of Artificial Intelligence!
