3. Technology in
cars:
Technology is extremely
crucial in cars
Cars can do much more than
drive and park
Cars are becoming a large
smart device much like a
phone
They have advanced
emergency braking
capabilities, GPS and
direction, better fuel
efficiency, and much more
4. Positive Facts About
Technology in Cars:
According to synopsys.com, they said by 2050
It reduces traffic congestion (30% fewer vehicles on the road)
Cut transportation costs by 40% (in terms of vehicles, fuel, and
infrastructure)
Improve walkability and livability
Free up parking lots for other uses (schools, parks, community
centers)
Reduce urban CO2 emissions by 80% world wide
Makes hundreds of calculations a second leaving room for nearly no errors
Only accidents so far are while human drivers were in control
Room for new designs of cars to make them more comfortable and luxurious
so you can relax while being driven to where you need
5. Negative Facts
About Technology in
Cars:
Cyber security is a concern,
hackers can exploit data or even
gain control of vehicle
A simple mistake in a code could
result in a glitch, malfunction or
system failure
Not only expensive to make but
also purchase
Lack of privacy due to vehicles
knowing your location at all times,
people could easily hack the
network and find where you are
as well
6. Different Types of
Technology in
Cars:
Heated and ventilated seats
Cruise control
Backup cameras/parking sensors
Automatic liftgates
Keyless entry and push-button start
Navigation
Smartphone integration
Automatic emergency braking
Wi-fi
Voice recognition
Automatic parking
Lane keep assist
7. How Does Technology
in Cars Work?
They rely on sensors, actuators,
complex algorithms, machine
learning systems, and powerful
processors to execute software
Some software's process the
sensory input, plots a path and send
instructions to the cars actuators
which control the acceleration,
braking, and steering.
These are used to follow traffic rules
and navigate through obstacles
8. Continued…
Sensor: device that detects or measures
a physical property and responds to it
Actuator: device that causers a machine
to operate
Complex algorithm: a complicated set of
rules to be followed in calculations
Machine learning systems: type of AI that
gives the ability to automatically learn and
improve from experience without being
programmed
Powerful processors: small chip that
receives input and provide the
appropriate output
9. Artificial
Intelligence:
AI can be used in making a car and
inside of a car
Robots put together the nuts and bolts of
a vehicle
Using machine learning and vision to
safely make its way through traffic
AI is connected to the sensors and
collects input from Google street view
and cameras inside the car
AI is supposed to replace a humans
abilities and decision making processes
by learning how to control actions in the
car such as steering and braking systems
10. Self Driving Cars:
AKA Autonomous cars
Cars or trucks where a human driver is not needed to control and safely operate it
Combination of sensors and software's to control, navigate and drive
Capable of knowing environment and navigating without a human input
Uses information's from GPS and inertial navigation to familiarize itself and have an image
of its environment
11. What Can Self
Driving Cars Be
Used For:
Grocery and food deliveries
If your child forgot their
lunch or something at home,
the car can bring it to the
school
To take you pet to the vet
Ridesharing
Park and pick you up
12. Emergency
Braking and
Safety Sensors:
Detects a crash with another vehicle in
time and avoids it by automatically
stopping your vehicle
If the drivers response is not fast enough
to avoid a crash the system is applied to
prevent or reduce the severity of a crash
A blind spot monitor is a safety sensor
that detects when another vehicle is on
the side or rear of the car that the driver is
unable to see
It keeps the driver from switching lanes
when another vehicle is adjacent to them
