Driverless/self-driving car is the most anticipated forthcoming technology in the auto industry. Though several companies are investing millions of dollars for it but yet no-one got success. Well, in this slide we have collected all together the inventions made by different auto companies towards self-driving car. There are lots more interesting info in this slide, have a look.

1. The Race Is On For Building The New
“Driverless Car“

2. Think For A While …

3. How The Next Generation Cars Will Be Powered ?

4. How The Autonomous Vehicles Could Affect The
Transportation System ?

5. Don’t you think it’s a
decade long process?

6. Who will build the self-driving car of the future?
And most awaiting question

7. ???

8. Yes, of course Google is the clear leader in
autonomous vehicle technology.
Contribution by Google :

9. GPS :

10. Helps in general navigation
To detect obstacles it uses:

11. Cameras
Lasers
Radar

12. Controls:

13. Speed is currently restricted to 25mph
Also it has an emergency stop button
controlled by the passenger

14. Camera:

15. Can see obstructions up to 600 feet away

16. Lane guidance:

17. It makes the car capable of perceiving
its surroundings
The car will able to see the neighboring
lanes & find gaps in traffic

18. LIDAR:

19. It helps to recognize the obstacles
Also can differentiate the types of the
obstacles such as :

20. Pedestrians
Bicyclists
CarsSigns
Traffic lights

21. Wheels:

22. The cars do not have steering wheel or
any brake pedals

23. Contribution by AUDI:

24. Cameras mounted in the windscreen
and rear window that constantly collect
images

25. Cameras combine with ultrasonic
sensors to build up 3D pictures

26. The car will be Controlled by computers
in the forward section which will let the car
drive itself at around 70 mph

27. GPS improves location accuracy and
helps in tracking car’s position

28. Contribution by NISSAN:

29. Nissan’s forthcoming technology
will allow a car to navigate itself and
improve a driver’s ability to see, think
and react.

30. Nissan expects lane guidance
system and adaptive cruise control
to use on highways by 2016

31. The sensors will continually monitor the
conditions in manual drive mode

32. Nissan introducing IDS (Intelligent driving
system) which will assist the driver in taking
appropriate action when any danger is
sensed.

33. Contribution by GM:

34. General motors aims to have vehicle
to vehicle communication which
will help in sharing information between
cars.

35. Implementing Super cruise technology
which will allow the drivers take hands off
the wheel while driving.

36. Also it helps the car to remain in its lane and
control the speed automatically according
to the traffic signals.

37. Contribution by TESLA:

38. It introduces the features which will keep
the car in its lane and control the speed.

39. Many of its features are already in market in
its “Model S” such as

40. Radar
Sonar
GPS

41. Tesla only needs a software or a system to
tie these all in a single system to build its
Driverless car.

42. Besides these, there are some other companies investing
millions of dollars on this forthcoming technology…

43. But the question is who will be the
first to accomplish this goal.

44. It’s just a matter of time .
But one thing is very clear that “ The race is on “….

45. Thank You …
