driver-less car

---

Imaging of a driver-less car !   Got irritated by driving a car on a long route, of-course it’s very hard to drive for a longer route as specially when you only know the driving. It causes many problems like one of them is back-paining.

Now here is the solution ! A Self-Driven Car , Yes ! An Autonomous Car in which it drives the car by itself while on the other hand you can sit on either side and get relaxed.

A self-driving car, also known as an autonomous vehicle (AV), connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV), driverless car, robo-car, or robotic car,  is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and moving safely with little or no human input.

Self-driving cars combine a variety of sensors to perceive their surroundings, such as radar, lidar, sonar, GPS, odometry and inertial measurement units.Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage.

There are in total 13 companies working on an autonomous car (AV).

1) CMU Navlab 

2) Google Cars

3) Tesla

4) Renault

5) Toyota

6) Audi

7) Volvo

8) Mercedes-Benz

9)  Continetal's Autonomous Vehicle.

10) General Motors.

11) Nissan

12) Bosch

13) PSA peugeot citroen.

Now ! Thinking of Price ?

The complete Autonomous Car can add up to $100,000 while a Semi-Autonomous Car Features like Tesla’s Auto-Pilot can add up-to $5,000 & Cadillac’s super cruise  can add up-to $10,000 to the base price of a vehicle.

Affordable or Not ?

It’s very Controversial to decide whether it would be affordable for all or not. As the Hardware & software inputed in it, rises it’s price rises exponentially. This is still a running concept yet not published in the market for commercial use. So as of now it is very hard to decide ,affordability for commercial use.

The Pros & Cons.

Pros:-

1) No Human Error

2) Less Accident & Deaths

3) Drinking & Driving would wipe out 

4) useful for Disabled & Elderly 

Cons:-

1) Hacking Potential.

2) Taxi and Truck drivers would lose their jobs

3) Changing Road Infrastructure to install sensors.

4) Weather Problems
