If cars could talk to each other

Page 4: driverless cars.pptx

Let's face it: Driving is dangerous

• Around 1.24 million people die every year in road accidents.

• Every 3 minutes, an Indian dies in a road accident.

• More than 75% of these accidents have nothing to do with alcohol or drugs.

We can start with something as simple as sharing our position data between cars, just sharing GPS.

Driverless cars

Autonomous vehicles sense their surroundings with such techniques as radar, lidar, GPS, and computer vision.

Fully Autonomous System

• Automatic Braking

• Electronic Stability

Control

• Cruise control

• Lane Departure

Warning System

• Self-Parking Cars

Page 8: driverless cars.pptx

Automatic Braking

• Senses the distance

between two vehicles by

using radar , ultra sonic,

infrared , GPS sensors.

• Responds accordingly by

decreasing the velocity by

applying brakes .

Electronic stability Control (ESC)

• A computerized technology improves vehicle's stability by

detecting and minimizing skids.

• Automatically applies the brakes.

• Minimizes loss of control

• ESC compares the driver's intended direction to the vehicle's

actual direction.

Electronic Stability Control

Cruise Control

• Cruise control keeps the car at a constant speed by taking over the throttle of the car

• It also maintain a set distance between it and the car in front of it

Google’s Self-Driving Cars

• The Google Self-Driving Car is a project by Google that involves

developing technology for autonomous cars.

•  The software powering Google's cars is called Google Chauffeur.

• These cars are allowed in the states of Nevada ,Florida and

California .

• Recently the UK government has announced that driverless cars will

be allowed on public roads from January next year.

Potential Obstacles.

• Liability for damage.

• Cyber Security: A car's computer could potentially be

compromised, as could a communication system between

cars.

• Self-driving cars could potentially be loaded with explosives

and used as autonomous bombs.

• Privacy.

Potential Advantages

• Fewer traffic collisions

• Reduction in the need for traffic police and vehicle insurance.

• Reduction in car theft.

• Smoother ride

• Reduction of space required for vehicle parking.

• Higher speed limit for autonomous cars.

Similar Research

• Chris Gardens : “Autonomous cars are coming and they’re going to drive better than you”. The future race cars 150mph and no drivers.

• Dennis Hong: “Many believe driving is an activity solely reserved for those who can see. A blind person driving a vehicle safely and independently was thought to be an impossible task, until now. we're bringing freedom and independence to the blind by building a vehicle for the visually impaired.”

Conclusion

• The driver less car’s technologies improves vehicle's stability

helps to minimize loss of control.

• Driver less cars are designed to minimize accidents by

addressing the main causes of collisions: driving error,

distraction and drowsiness.
