Mackenzie Gibbs
ITMG 100 Section 05Slide2
The
technology
Lasers, sensors, artificial intelligence, and cameras combined allow cars to be their own driverSlide3
Google uses sensors within the car, a laser atop the car (
Lider
) and artificial intelligence to create a fully autonomous vehicle.
Google leading the waySlide4
Although not fully autonomous, the Temporary Autopilot System serves as co-pilot and takes stress off the driver through sensing for obstacles and barriers.
VolkswagonSlide5
At first, the driver controls the car with two joysticks, as they lose interest, the joysticks stow themselves and the seat reclines to give a living room feel.

“Platooning”
One professional driver leads a caravan of cars wirelessly where each individual can relax and enjoy the ride, but leave the string of cars and regain control at any time.
VolvoSlide7
