OVERVIEW
 WHAT IS DRIVERLESS CAR?
Vehicle that can drive itself from one point to another
without assistance from a driver
 Automated guided vehicle (AGV)
Autopilot
Driverless

BENEFIT :
 To experience efficient driving
 To facilitate mobility to handicapped/the elderly
people
 To manage traffic flow
 To reduce accidents due to human error

GOOGLE DRIVERLESS CAR PROJECTS
•Initiated informally since 2009 and
formally since 2010, by a team of 15
engineers from Google
•Project Head : Sebastian Thrun
(Co-inventor of Google Street view)
•Technology used :
Google map
Hardware sensors
Artificial intelligence
Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
Automated guided vehicle systems
Self parking

What a city with driverless car might look like:

Negative aspects
 Credibility concern
 Cyber security
 Ethical problems
 Inability to cope with extra conditions
 Poor road infrastructure
 Loss of jobs
 Cost issue:
Total cost : US $300,000

Future of autonomous cars:
YEAR Availability of self driving car
2016 Tesla “autopilot”
2018 Tesla, Google, Nutonomy
2020 Volkswagen, Honda, Hyundai,
Toyota, Google, Volvo, BMW
•Companies developing and/or testing cars include:
Audi BMW Ford Google General Motors Volkswagen Volvo

How do consumer feel about self driving cars?

CONCLUSION
 Driverless car are designed to minimize accidents by
addressing main cause of collision: driving error,
distraction and drowsiness
 Their adoption will take decades but these vehicles are
coming - and fast
 This would affect the job market
-Many people are employed driving vehicles
-More people will be needed for the manufacturing,
design and programming of self driving vehicles.
