Chapter 3.6, Problem 2SW

Explanation of Solution

Development of Autonomous Cars:

Research and development have been made in enhancing the technology to create autonomous cars. All major automakers are making investigation for testing their own vehicle with self-driving cars.

Google has done a brilliant research in self–driving cars. They have already driven hundreds of thousands of miles without or little human intervention. Transporting with autonomous vehicle reduces the driving time and drastically reduces accidents and also concentrates on safety measures.

The person will set the destination and the cars software will sense the route and starts the car towards the sensed route. A variety of techniques is implemented to detect the surroundings. A sensor is placed on the left rear wheel to monitor the sideways movement. Radar system is placed in the front and rear bumpers to sense the obstacles and their distance. It reduces the mobility, safety, customer satisfaction and reduces crime.

Other automated modes of transportation:

It is possible to have other automated modes of transportation which has been implemented already in earlier days...
