Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

Majority of ramp accidents

involve Human error

People often really do not want to drive………

Need of Current Technology Improvement: Avoiding Crashes Through Automation/Smart Driving Cars

Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

In In 717 out of 723 accidents ((99%)

“In 100 out of 72 crashes (72%), a driver behavioral error caused or contributed to the crash”

Vehicle Speed e.g. Vehicle beyond speed limit 21.20%Alcohol impairment 18.20%

Perceptual errors e.g. Looked but didn't see 15.10%

Decision Errors e.g. During Overtake, During

turning etc. 11.10%incapacitation e.g. Fell asleep 6.40%

Other/ technical Problem Break down/ Tire Burst 28%

Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

Much of the public interest has been promoted by the car.

Several auto manufacturers: BMW, Toyota and General Motors are developing cars that can drive themselves

Motivated by fact: >72% of road traffic accidents involve human error. So… remove the human from the loop.

How It Works

Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

GPS Technology Uses artificial intelligence technology and makes decisions on its own. Central ComputerABS (Anti Breaking system) Automatic Cruise ControlSelf parking safety belts & Airbags

How It Works

Continued…

Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

Reduced driver stress: Reduce the stress of driving and allow motorists to rest and work while traveling.

Reduced driver costs: Reduce costs of paid drivers for taxis and commercial transport. Provide independent mobility for non-drivers

Increased safety: May reduce many common accident risks and therefore crash costs and insurance premiums. May reduce high-risk driving, such as when impaired.

Good Impact of Self Diving cars

Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

Increased road capacity: May allow platooning (vehicle groups traveling close together), narrower lanes, and reduced intersection stops, reducing congestion and roadway costs.

More efficient parking

Used for physically-disabled persons

Good Impact of Self Diving cars Continued…

Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

Increases costs: Requires additional vehicle equipment, services and maintenance, and possibly additional roadway infrastructure.

Additional risks: May introduce new risks, such as system failures, be less safe under certain conditions, and encourage road users to take additional risks

Security and Privacy concerns: May be chances to information abuse (hacking), and features such as GPS tracking and data sharing may raise privacy concerns.

Can not handled in heavy rain and not able to drive on roads covered in snow

Conclusions

We can Reduce the Accidents & can Saves life

As we are the engineering students we can contribute to research to overcome drawbacks.
