Driverless Cars – Is the future now?
• Timeline for introduction – or are they here?
• Expected benefits
• Technology required – Vehicles? Roads? Infrastructure? IoT?
• The human machine interface
• What the future holds for the design for our cities and homes
• Where does Australia fit in the research
• Many challenges ahead;
– legislation, liability, security, technology
• South Australia are set to be global leaders in driverless cars
– Conference, legislation, trials & research
Driverless Cars – How long to wait
• Many automated vehicle technologies are here now or scheduled for release
• Automated vehicles by 2020, common & affordable by 2025
• 2035 – 9% of vehicle sales will be driverless
• 2055 – 90% of vehicle sales will be driverless
• Driverless cars are being tested by Google, Volvo, GM, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Tesla, Ford, Toyota and others
Adelaide demonstration – 7 November 2015
Driverless Cars – Some of the benefits
• Investment & Innovation on a global scale
• Economic benefits & new opportunities for South Australian businesses
– Driverless vehicle industry will be worth $90 billion globally by 2030.
• Road Safety
• Traffic management / congestion
• Personal time / efficiency
• Estimated global savings at over $5.6 trillion per annum when the safety and efficiency
benefits of autonomous cars are fully realised in the decades to come (Morgan Stanley)
Driverless Cars – What’s needed
• Vehicle dynamics and control systems – Brakes, suspension, steering. Delivering
precise control to perceive, interpret and ultimately actuates the drivers intent
• Sensing systems – Radar, GPS, 3D cameras, Ultrasonic, Laser, connectivity
including Wi-Fi, 3G/4G/5G. Coordination of multiple sensors & systems providing
accurate vehicle spatial awareness
• Processing & Decision making – Software, driver interface. Allowing for fully-
automated cooperative vehicle control systems with the vehicle as the primary
controller – occupied or unoccupied
Today’s car sensing systems
Driverless cars into the mainstreamSAE Level Autonomy Narrative example
0 No Automation May use driver assist warnings1 Driver Assistance Assist driver – ie Active Cruise Control2 Partial Automation Specific to drive mode – ie Traffic jam assist3 Conditional Automation Limited self driving – ie Super Cruise / Valet parking4 High Automation Full self-driving or human – Driver can take control5 Full Automation All aspects – No driver controls
Driverless Cars – urban planning
Driverless Cars – Where does Australia fit?
• Research conducted in the UK, US & Australia measuring public attitudes towards driverless
cars – Australians recorded the highest positive opinion (62% of respondents were positive)
• Australians have always been early adopters of innovations and new technologies
• Australians are well-regarded internationally for being at the cutting edge of innovation
• Ten years ago neither the iPhone nor Android even existed. Today three-quarters of
Australians own smartphones and its increasing
