The world of automobile engineering is progressing quickly with innovation affecting how cars are driven and also used. There is so much that technology has already and is yet to change with respect to autonomous vehicles, driving and cars that are already in existence today.
The Science of Autonomous vehicles
The once thought of as high-end science fiction concept that people’s cars will be programmed to drive themselves from one point to another is now something that wealthy people can manage. Companies such as Tesla, Waymo and Cruise are very close to reaching total levels 4 & 5 autonomy of driving. AI, LiDAR advances, and other sensors also allow such cars to navigate their way through the most crowded of towns with next to zero human assistance. However, the debate over regulations and car crashes are still going on and autonomous cars are expected to deliver zero accidents on the road, less traffic and better transportation services for all classes of individuals.
Augmented Reality in Vehicles Range
Augmented Reality is changing the way driving feels like by blending digital images with real environment. Augmented reality (AR) based devices help the drivers to keep their eyes in the right direction. Driving guidelines, for example, might be projected within the windshield. This approach addresses safety concerns because a driver can access and take calling/texting after utilization. Such devices have been integrated into the contemporary vehicles and have gained gadget status from manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz among others.
Cars and the Internet of Things
The advent of connected cars is made easier and made more useful with the Internet of Things. These vehicles have the ability to connect with others as well as the infrastructure around them, using the Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V- D2D, D2I, D2I, I2X, X2X) communication network. Improvements in appliance-based conveniences such as real-time traffic information, remote car servicing, and car breakdown will be achieved. Fondly, IoT provides a social cohesion that enables and interconnects public transportation and other ancillary facilities that are today managed asynchronously.
