Driverless Cars

Fastcompany.com states:
           
            Driverless cars are inevitable. When we complete the transformation from human to machine driving depends on your willingness to relinquish control--and your definition of “autonomous.” If you’re looking for the fantasy--a Jetsons-like future where cars steer themselves while passengers sleep, watch movies on their tablets, or take care of business on the fly--then you’ll be waiting quite some time. But there is plenty happening in the autonomous space right now.
            Driverless technologies are showing up already.  Some cars can slide themselves into tight parking spots.  Also they can stay at a safe following distance and stay in a lane of traffic.  Some cars can stop when they sense a collision is going to happen.  It is easy to imagine, but it is not very easy to create. I do not think there will be driverless cars until a few years.  The cars use auto-pilot like a plane does.  They set a location and the car drives safely to the destination.  Experts think these cars will be on the road about 2016 – 2020.  That is a little while from now so it will give the engineers some time to create these cool cars.

            Google is creating a driverless car as well. They call it of course the Google.  Google is closer to creating a Driverless car than any other car engineering company in the world.
           
            Canada also has an AV.  They call it the QNX.  They are wanting to turn your car into your ultimate mobile device.  It has apps, infotainment, access to all your movies and music, and, of course, control of the car itself.
           
            Delphi is creating an auto vehicle.  It is one of the world’s largest parts suppliers.  It is a tier 1 car which means it is used to haul heavy stuff.

            From all of the cars I typed about I think AV are very, very interesting. I hope you had a great time reading it.
