Emerging Technology

Autonomous Cars

The autonomous car is the new transformation of cars/vehicles; they are self-driven. The new cars are in no need of human interaction anymore. The cars are able to be driven by themselves with new technology that includes large amounts of sensory data from on-board radars, cameras, ultrasonic range finders, GPS, and stored maps that help navigate different routes when there is a fast change in traffic, all in no need of human interaction. The use of these cars has been minimal since they are constantly changing due to technical difficulties or changes in technology. The making of these cars were made to reduce vehicular accidents. Also the use of the cars has been slowly moving into the car industry. There are similar models that are already being sold in the market, but only do a small amount of what the autonomous car could do. For example, there are vehicles on the market that offer hands free parallel parking, automatic lane keeping, emergency breaking, or semi-autonomous cruise control. An example, a vehicle that has been in the market since last October is Tesla Motors, a vehicle is available with a software that enables a limited form of self-driving. The rolling ball of this new technology is still being discovered in the automobile industry, and most likely to advance in the future. These cars are useful in a way to prevent and lower the chances of getting into collisions, and better regulation of traffic. Also, there wont be a need for stop lights. Professionals predict, improving criminal and social justice, and a reduction in receiving tickets because the cars will be self driven and appropriate to any street mileage.
