Get Ready For Self-Driving Vehicles Soon, Says Industry Insider
Larry Burns, former R&D chief of GM, is anxious about self-driving cars. He believes that they will fill entire United States fleets by 2020. By 2015, however, customers should get a good look at the technology in easily available designs.
Rethinking mobility
The emissions in urban cities will decrease quite a bit with driverless vehicles because there will be fewer vehicles on the road. People will not get distracted, which will mean fewer accidents on the road. Distracted driving will become obsolete; people will be able to do whatever they want in the car, including taking care of business and phone calls.
Test drives at Google
Thousands of miles have been put into driverless test vehicles on California roads. The Toyota Prius and Audi TT models were used in the experiment done by Google. Google has gotten a lot of attention for these versions. The vehicles do a very good job of watching for potential risks, looking at stop lights and staying on the road. They appear to be very effective with radar and video cameras.
Only one accident has reportedly occurred when the self-driving system was active, and that appears to have been the fault of a separate, human driver. It is notable that control can be assumed by a human driver at any point during the operation of the self-driving system.
Project in 2007
The "Boss," or a driverless Chevrolet Tahoe, was partly introduced in 2007 by General Motors. The car was entered into a 55 mile race supported by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The self-driving system won the race with its cameras and radars keeping it on the road, according to Automotive News.
'Cruise control on steroids'
On the self-driving automobiles, there will be adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance and lane-keeping technology. Although Burns believes the driverless car will not come out until 2020, he does believe that these benefits will be seen on most consumer vehicles by 2015.
What about insurance?
Perhaps the greatest stumbling block for the adoption of driverless vehicles will be the insurance industry. Autonomous automobile technology could create a maze for security regulators to navigate, as determination of fault in the event of an accident will be more difficult to achieve.
