The document discusses Google's self-driving vehicle and its potential future impacts. It notes that over 72% of accidents are due to human error. Google's self-driving car uses GPS technology, artificial intelligence and central computing to navigate autonomously. This could significantly reduce accidents by removing the human element. While initial costs may be higher, proponents argue self-driving cars could reduce stress, increase road capacity and safety, and provide independent mobility for non-drivers. However, challenges remain regarding how the vehicles handle certain conditions like snow and how to address security, privacy and systems failure concerns.

5. Much of the public interest has been
promoted by the
car.
Motivated by fact:
>72% of road traffic
accidents involve human error. So… remove the
human from the loop.
Several auto manufacturers: BMW, Toyota
and General Motors are developing cars that can drive
themselves

Google Self Driving Vehicle- Future of Cars

7. How It
Works
Continued…
GPS Technology
 Uses artificial intelligence technology and makes
decisions on its own.
 Central Computer
ABS (Anti Breaking system)
 Automatic Cruise Control
Self parking
 safety belts & Airbags

8. Good Impact of Self Diving cars
Reduced driver stress:
Reduce the stress of driving and allow motorists to
rest and work while traveling.
Reduced driver costs:
Reduce costs of paid drivers for taxis and commercial
transport.
Provide independent mobility for non-drivers
Increased safety:
May reduce many common accident risks and
therefore crash costs and insurance premiums. May
reduce high-risk driving, such as when impaired.

9. Good Impact of Self Diving cars
Continued…
Increased road capacity:
May allow
platooning (vehicle groups traveling close
together), narrower lanes, and reduced intersection
stops, reducing congestion and roadway costs.
More efficient parking
Used for physically-disabled persons

10. Lagging points of Self Driving car
Increases costs: Requires
additional vehicle
equipment, services and maintenance, and possibly
additional roadway infrastructure.
Additional risks:
May introduce new risks, such as
system failures, be less safe under certain conditions, and
encourage road users to take additional risks
Security and Privacy concerns:
May be
chances to information abuse (hacking), and features
such as GPS tracking and data sharing may raise privacy
concerns.
Can not handled in heavy rain and not able to drive on
roads covered in snow

11. Conclusions
 We can Reduce the Accidents & can Saves life
As we are the engineering students we can contribute
to research to overcome drawbacks.
