Abstract
This paper will cover the conversion of normal conventional cars into the autonomous
car (Driverless car), problems associated with it, objectives, requirements and the
expected outcome of this step. It will also cover the standards and give the critical
comparison between conventional and driverless cars. This AI based car will cause a
huge change in people’s life, we will research and analyse the various impacts on
society, legal and ethical challenges, and importantly environmental constraints. We
will also research on the previous similar technologies and take a look the way
researchers are working to make this technology even better in the future.
Introduction
As the World is progressing, scientists and researchers are struggling to take the human life in
more comfort zone. People around the World are now quite much enthusiastic about the launch
of autonomous cars. The speciality of this car is its ability to perceive its environment using the
modern form of AI, and take decisions without the assistance of any driver.
In other words, these cars are equippedwith special sensors, processors and another database
which is responsible for the operation of this car and doesn’t require any driver. It navigates
itself following up to the destinationpoint requested by users.
Indeed, it is the big revolution in the field of robotics, which is
contributing a lot to make this planet safer place. OnOn a technical basis, this car is designed
based on the various areas of engineering which includes electrical, mechanical, computer
sciences and control engineering etc. [1]. Major progression in the autonomous car has started
when the Mercedes Benz has launched the vision guided the car in 1980 after this invention it
has stared a huge focus on the areas of GPS
system, radar etc. This has also resulted in the development of the adaptive steer control,
power steering and other things that are involved in the humanitarian assistance as well.
And now the research is going on to introduce the World with the driverless car which could be
much safer, efficient and reliable for the users.
Road accidents are one of the major cause of death, as according to report by Deshpande et
al that nearly 3000 people died daily because of road accidents, among which half of them are
not in the car, other than that it has also been reported that if some safety measures are not
taken this will grow up to 2.4 million a year making the 5th largest cause of death in the World
[1]. This number can be greatly reduced by putting autonomous cars into action which are far
more reliable and react swiftly than humans.
It will also cause reduction in the traffic congestion, as the efficiency of autonomous car
makes it reliable in a way of keeping very small gaps between vehicles, and its outstanding
management of speed and time. Following the navigation track without considering any other
distraction makes it friendlier than the conventional cars operated by drivers.
Fully Self-Driving Automation
The AI-based specialised cars can perform all
of its trip without any occupant, and it is more
considerate for the people who are not able to
drive or may be due to other factors unable to
cope with driving. Although engineers are
putting lot more effort to make it as accurate as
possible, this technology doesn’t give that
performance so that it can be trusted blinded to
put it on the road. Google is quite a confident to
commercially launch these cars by the time of
2018. [13]
The survey has been done by the Cisco, the
major objective of this survey was to figure out
the people’s confidence of adopting these
autonomous cars. They included around 1500
people from 10 different countries having a
