It is difficult to understand that the basic function of a automobile hasn’t changed in the past 106 years. An autonomous car also known to many as a driverless car or a self-driving car or a robot car is a vehicle capable of driving through the streets and roadways, fulfilling its transportation capabilities of a traditional car without any assistance from human .It is specialized in sensing its environment through imbedded equipment and navigate from one point to other without human input. It is
Kantianism or Utilitarian Approach, Who Decides? A self-driving car also known as an autonomous car is basically a computerized robot. The computer in the car is programed to take the car and often a traveler from point A to point B without intervention from humans (Rouse). There are three things required for a self-driving car. According to Sridhar Lakshmanan, a self-driving auto expert, the three things are a GPS system, a second system to “recognize dynamic conditions on the road” and “a

Now that car manufactures have developed the technology, different companies are rumoring about self-driving cars. They are coming soon, but sooner that you
----------------------------- Description of Current Incumbents ----------------------------- General Motors Major incumbent companies expect that the autonomous driving systems will be ready for the market in five years. This may be optimistic, but by 2050, cars that drive themselves could well be major production units for companies like General Motors. GM first revealed in 2010 that it had been working on self-driving cars[1]. Last year, GM demonstrated that the prototypes can follow the pace
ENG 112-36Z Etsegenet Zewdie Paper #1 Driverless car Nowadays, computers have been applied in new cars. The driverless car is a work in development that is actually important in technology where a computer would drive the car instead of a person. There is a lot of good things and bad things about the driverless car. I choose this topic because I like to do research about new technology. The problem I’m seeing in the self-driving car is safety. The computer or the self-driving car needs
Brendon Smith 11/30/2017 IDC 200 Powell/Sutton Driverless Cars Imagine a world where you could travel places without touching the steering wheel in a car.

The goal to design a car that weighs 400kg, which is relatively light, will have a disadvantage during accidents with a regular car in that it will almost always experience the greater impact. In addition, due to the car’s limited weight and size, it is difficult to implement extensive safety systems, such as more airbags, automatic breaking, infrared night vision, emergency break assist … These safety issues triggered ethical questions that will be answered below. 1- Are the fundamental responsibilities
Autonomous cars, they are an extraordinary move in the vehicle industry! For those who do not know what autonomous cars are, they are cars that drive themself, cars that have an autopilot feature. Autonomous cars are cars of the future, there are very few as of today. One of the first are made by the Tesla company. The meaning of an autonomous car is a vehicle that can guide itself without the control of a human. This kind of vehicle has become reality being named, “futuristic” in the year 2017
Introduction to self-driving cars Not long ago, when people talking about self-driving cars, most of them would feel that is far away from us. But today, we can see from news that many IT companies are already created their own self-driving technologies. Self-driving cars can use a variety of technologies, like GPS, radar, computer version, to avoid obstacle and explore surrounding environments. In order to drive safely, self-driving technologies include drifting warning, blind-spot detectors, enhanced
