It is a compilation of Journey of automobiles from their invention to recent trends ...

2. The word automobile comes, from the
Ancient Greek word αὐτός (autós, "self")
and the Latin mobilis ("movable");
meaning a vehicle that moves itself.

4. -----------------------

9. • Another inventor of automobiles is Carl
Benz. In 1885 he built a little three-wheeled
internal combustion engine car .

10. In 1890 he went into production with the
four-wheeled model.

11. • Another Major contributor is Henry Ford. He
was the person that invented the first
assembly line.

18. CRASH PREVENTION
STABILITY & HANDELING

19. To avoid crash some of the important systems are
•Preset and maintain the car speed
•Measure the distance to the preceding car and
the relative speed
•Adjust the car speed accordingly

20. Blind spot warning systems detect the distance and
closing speed of objects in adjacent lanes and alert the
driver if a collision is imminent.

21. ISA activates when a driver exceeds the posted
speed limit for a section of road by a set speed
(eg. 80km/hr or more). Audio and visual
warnings activate to remind the driver that they
are going too fast.

23. It is a transparent display that provides
information, warning and alerts on
windscreen.

24. To avoid injuries after crash some safety features
are 1. Steering air bag
2. Knee air bag
3. Curtain air bag
4. Crumple zone

25. STABILITY AND HANDLING
Stability of a vehicle is depends upon the
performance of following systems..
Steering system.
Suspension system.
Braking system.

26. To provide stability to the vehicle some of
the systems are.
Electronic Stability Control System
also referred to as electronic stability program (ESP)
or dynamic stability control (DSC), is a computerized
technology that improves the vehicle's stability by
detecting and reducing loss of traction (skidding).When
ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically
applies the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where the
driver intends to go. Braking is automatically applied to
wheels individually, such as the outer front wheel to
counter oversteer or the inner rear wheel to counter
understeer Some ESC

27. Electronic Stability Control System

28. Traction Control System
optimize grip and stability of the car on the road
during acceleration by measuring wheel rotation. It
stops wheel spin by reducing engine power or
temporarily applying the brakes to that wheel,
allowing the car to accelerate smoothly, even on
slippery surfaces.

29. SOME OTHER TECHNOLOGIES TO
IMPROVE STABILITY & HANDELING
Electronic Suspension
Adjustments
Limited Assist Power Steer
Electronic Steering Assist

30. “…Designed to assist part of the
drivers recognition and decision-
making … by utilising advanced
technologies”

31. To provide driving assistance some
of the systems are.
Lane Keep Support System
To alert the driver of an unintended
departure from the intended lane of
travel

32. Night Vision Assistance
Infrared night vision systems to increase
seeing distance beyond headlamp range

33. SOME OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
ASSIST DRIVER.
Reverse backup sensors
Automated parking system
Tire pressure monitoring systems

34. Now automobile companies are working on
some alternative fuels and energy sources.
