Autonomous Vehicle/ Self Driving Cars
Autonomous vehicles are the vehicles having advance driver system to operate all the functions of the vehicle independently, without having any human interaction. It uses computer vision, the application of Artificial Intelligence, to predict the driving speed and brake when any obstacle is present.
Due to this , it has a very good safety control system that is capable of insuring the safety of the driver and passengers without any human error. It can be operated manually and automatically based on the driver needs.
There are many companies that are working on the creation of such vehicles.Some of the leading manufacturers of these vehicles are WAYMO , GM CRUISE and ARGO AI. Some of the Autonomous vehicles are Lexus L.S. ,Tesla Model 3, Volvo XC60, BMW 5 Series.
In past few years there has been new startups introduced in the driverless vehicle industry. Some of them are ARGO AI (2016), Starsky Robotics (2016), ZOOX(2014) an many more.
Autonomous
vehicles work on certain levels that can be adjusted as per driver needs.
Levels at which autonomous vehicles work.
Level 0 : Car is not having any control on its own. A driver
is the person responsible for the movement of the car. All the controls of the
car are in the hands on the driver.
Level 1 : The car has ADAS( advance driver assistance system)
which can help the driver with the steering or accelerating or braking by
giving certain instructions.
Level 2 : The ADAS system of the car is now advance to control
the steering, accelerating and braking whenever the driver allows it, but the
driver needs to pay complete attention in the surroundings for safe driving.
Level 3 : The ADS is
now able to operate all the parts of the vehicle whenever a driver allows it
but it requires driver assistance to keep an eye on the surroundings.
Level 4 : Now the cars can perform all the operations
independently whenever the driver assistance is not required.
Level 5 : Here the car is fully automated and capable to
perform all the operations such as braking, accelerating, steering, checking
roads, traffic lights, obstacles in the road etc. on its own without any driver
interaction. This is advance technology will be operated on the 5G and will use
the most of the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
