5 Autonomous Cars Trends Everyone Should Know About In 2019Bernard Marr
Autonomous cars are coming. Even if we might not have completely self-driving cars on all our roads by 2019, there are some important trends that map out the path of autonomous driving. Here we look at the key ones.
There are great expectations around the future of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and equally much uncertainty. Some believe that AVs will transform safety and efficiency and are making significant investments in this area. Others are concerned that the technological developments are outpacing society’s ability to adapt, and there is an urgent requirement to develop better regulation before there is widespread deployment. A global Open Foresight project exploring the key issues for the future of AVs is being undertaken by Future Agenda. Expert workshops around the world are building the informed view.
This project was kicked-off with a global review of the emerging landscape for autonomous vehicles. As well looking at the historical context for self-driving cars and trucks, this initial perspective explores the benefits of AVs; different issues for the movement of people vs. goods; the three primary drivers of adoption and the primary centres for innovation. It also includes commentary on the parallel developments in seaborne and air-based autonomous vehicles. It ends with some of the key questions to be explored by the project.

Future of autonomous vehicles initial perspective - 8 october 2018Future Agenda
Future of Autonomous Vehicles
With so much investment and tech development underway, many are asking where, how and when will we see self-driving cars, buses and trucks on the streets in earnest? A host of companies, cities and countries are competing and collaborating to move things forward – but is could be a decade or so before there is mass market traction. In addition, what about seaborne AV as well as drones, air-taxis and, maybe, pilotless planes?
Ahead of the launch of a detailed initial perspective in Shanghai in November this is a summary of 30 of the key issues that experts have already raised. As part of a major global open foresight programme we will be running 15 events around the world in the first half of 2019 exploring these and additional issues – building an informed, global view for all.
We have many key locations already defined, but if you are interested in hosting or co-hosting one of these events, do let us know and we can include as we work on the overall schedule. As with all our projects (e.g. www.futureofpatientdata.org) we will share all insights from each location and publish a global synthesis.

Designing Roads for AVs (autonomous vehicles)Jeffrey Funk
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent one of the most promising new technologies for smart cities and for humans in general. The problem is that cities will not realize the full benefits from AVs until roads are designed for them. Until this occurs, their main benefit will be the elimination of the driver and steering wheel, which will reduce the cost and increase the capacity of taxis; but even this impact will not occur for many years because of safety concerns. Thus, in the near term, the main benefit of AVs will be free time for the driver to do emails and other smart phone related tasks.
A better solution is to design roads for AVs or in other words, to constrain the environment for AVs in order to simplify the engineering problem for them. For example, designing roads so that all vehicles can be controlled by a combination of wireless communication, RFID tags, and magnets will reduce the cost of AVs and increase their benefits. Only AVs would be allowed on these roads, they are checked for autonomous capability at the entrance, and control is returned to the driver when an AV leaves the road. Existing cars can be retrofitted with wireless modules that enable cars to be controlled by a central system, thus enabling cars to travel closely together. The magnets and RFID tags create an invisible railway that keeps the AVs in their lanes while wireless communication is used for lane changing and exiting a highway (Chang et al, 2014; Le Quesne et al, 2014). These wireless modules, magnets and RFID tags will be much cheaper than the expensive LIDAR that is needed when AVs are mixed with conventional vehicles on a road.
The benefits from dedicating roads to AVs include higher vehicle densities, less congestion, faster travel times, and higher fuel efficiencies. These seemingly contradicting goals can be achieved because AVs can have shorter inter-vehicle distances even at high speeds thus enabling higher densities, lower congestion, and lower travel times. The less congestion and thus fewer instances of slow moving or stopped vehicles enable the vehicles to travel at those speeds at which higher fuel efficiencies can be achieved (Funk, 2015). In combination with new forms of multiple passenger ride sharing, the higher fuel efficiencies will also reduce carbon emissions and thus help fight climate change.
The challenge is to develop a robust system that can be easily deployed in various cities and that will be compatible with vehicles containing the proper subsystems. Such a system can be developed in much the same way that new cellular systems are developed and tested. Suppliers of mobile phone infrastructure, automobiles, sensors, LIDAR, 3D vision systems, and other components must work with city governments and universities to develop and test a robust architecture followed by the development of a detail design.
Most cars are now equipped with intelligent assistance systems. However, the connection of vehicles to each other, to traffic lights, congestion warning systems and infrastructure is still in its infancy. Connected Mobility is a key future market that holds many pitfalls. In this regard, the automotive sector can benefit from the methods of Corporate Foresight.
Introduction to Connected Cars and Autonomous VehiclesBill Harpley
This is the first of two lectures which were given to students and academic staff at the University of Portsmouth on March 28th 2017. It provides a broad overview of the technical and public policy challenges faced by the automotive industry.
Autonomous Driving (AD) has been said to be the next big disruptive innovation in the years to come. Considered as being predominantly technology driven, it is supposed to have massive societal impact in areas such as insurance, laws and regulations, logistics, automotive industry as well as all types of transportation methods, not only expected to have an enormous environmental and economic effect but also offer the possibility of saving millions of lives worldwide.
HYVE Science Labs, in cooperation with the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg and INSIUS have developed the unique worldwide study “Autonomous Driving: The User Perspective” focused on the customer view and acceptance of Autonomous Driving. The study analyses 106,305 comments on Autonomous Driving publicly posted in English on the Internet, finding a more positive than negative attitude towards this new technology in contrast to the most renowned surveys in the field. The focus was placed in the understanding of customer acceptance, a topic that until now under an Autonomous Driving context is limited. While a survey with more than 200 experts on autonomous vehicles by the IEEE (2014), the world's largest professional association for the advancement of technology, defines that the three biggest obstacles to reach the mass adoption of driverless cars are legal liability, policymakers and customer acceptance. Therefore it is essential to start understanding and integrating customers in order to build deep and meaningful customer insights which can be used to deliver the products they want and need. Furthermore it is important to understand the wants and needs of future users and who will the early adopters will be. They will influence how technologies evolve and if they provide enough benefits to reach the early majority.
Innovative Web Monitoring Technologies, User Generated Content (UGC) and the method of Innovation Mining were used within an Autonomous Driving context to understand user’s debate on the Internet. UGC is characterized by extensive volunteering effort, lack of central control and freedom of expression, while creating a basis for identifying and understanding opinions, desires, tastes, needs and decision-making influences of customers in a passive non-intrusive manner. UGC is perceived as being impartial and unbiased, while giving the chance to understand needs and doubts of the potential customers, as well as the used language within a certain topic. The method of Innovation Mining presented below reflects the process from the search for the UGC until the possible visualization and interpretation of the gained information.
• Analysis of the users language within an AD context
• Most relevant single sources of discussion
• Topic evolution including most impactful events
• Brand importance in the users perspective
• Most mentioned activities in an AD vehicle
• In depth language analysis of concepts and their drivers
'' Internet of Vehicles (IoV) ,,
IoV is basically INTERNET of VEHICLES, a strong network between vehicles and living.
IoT is a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.
The new era of the Internet of Things is driving the evolution of conventional Vehicle Ad-hoc Networks into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
Being in generation of Internet connectivity, there is a need to stay in safe and hassle free environment.
According to recent predictions, 25 billion “things” will be connected to the Internet by 2020, of which vehicles will constitute a significant portion.
Objectives

IoV should have communications, processing, storage, intelligence, learning and strong security capabilities .
To be integrated in IoT framework and smart cities technologies.
Extended business models and the range of applications ( including mediaoriented) current vehicular networks.
Types Of Communication IoV
The IoV includes mainly five types of vehicular communications
1.Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V).
2.Vehicle to-Roadside Unit (V2R).
3.Vehicle-to-Infrastructure of cellular networks (V2I) .
4.Vehicle-to-Personal devices (V2P)
5.Vehicle-to-Sensors (V2S).
Network elements of IoV
A network model of IoV is proposed based on the three network elements, including cloud, connection, and client. The benefits of the design and development of IoV are highlighted by performing a qualitative comparison between IoV and VANETs
Public policy aspects of Connected and Autonomous VehiclesBill Harpley
This is a presentation which I gave to the Brighton IoT Forum meetup group ( of which I am the founder ).
I outlines the key public policy challenges for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles.
It then considers policy responses from the UK Government and examines selected cases studies from U.S. , China and Germany.
Future of Autonomous Vehicles
The dream of self-driving vehicles has been a long time coming. It is however now within reach and the pressure is on the deliver on the vision. With sustained technology development, increased investment and raising public awareness, there is enormous interest in the imminent mainstream use of autonomous vehicles on the streets.
Although approaches vary from around the world, policy makers and urban planners in leading locations are now seeking to collaborate more with manufacturers, mobility providers, tech suppliers, logistics operators in order to align regulation for testing and mass deployment. And it goes both ways.
The investments being made in autonomy have rapidly shifted from millions to billions, so unsurprisingly those public and private organisations that are providing the funds are keen to ensure that the ROI is credible. There is much to play for and, although there has been substantial progress over recent years, significant questions on safety, social impact, business models and performance are still unanswered.
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles project was undertaken to canvas the views of a wide range of experts from around the world in order to create a clearer, informed global perspective of how autonomy will evolve over the next decade. Beginning with a discussion with government officials just outside Shanghai in July 2018 and ending with leaders from across the US autonomous vehicle community in the hills above Silicon Valley in February of 2020, this project has covered a lot of ground. In all, eight workshops and six additional discussions have engaged with hundreds of different opinions, shared perspectives and built considered future pathways.
This report is a synthesis of many voices and opinions on the likely future of autonomous vehicles. We hope that is useful.
Full project details are available on the dedicated mini site www.futureautonomous.org
Intelligent roads will be the bedrock of all future road transport, as vehicles become more intelligent. This is necessary to ensure safety and energy-efficiency.
Autonomous Vehicles: Technologies, Economics, and OpportunitiesJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of autonomous vehicles are improving rapidly. LIDAR, other sensors, ICs, and wireless are experiencing rapid improvements that are enabling the overall cost of AVs to fall. For example, the latency of wireless systems is improving rapidly thus enabling vehicles to be controlled with wireless systems. This is also creating many new opportunities in the vehicle industry in the Internet of Things, data analytics, and logistics. The slides include a detailed discussion of AVs in Singapore, a likely early adopter.

Intelligent roads will be the bedrock of all future road transport, as vehicles become more intelligent. This is necessary to ensure safety and energy-efficiency.
Autonomous Vehicles: Technologies, Economics, and OpportunitiesJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of autonomous vehicles are improving rapidly. LIDAR, other sensors, ICs, and wireless are experiencing rapid improvements that are enabling the overall cost of AVs to fall. For example, the latency of wireless systems is improving rapidly thus enabling vehicles to be controlled with wireless systems. This is also creating many new opportunities in the vehicle industry in the Internet of Things, data analytics, and logistics. The slides include a detailed discussion of AVs in Singapore, a likely early adopter.

"The methods of artificial intelligence and augmented reality have always been the substance of rumination and speculation since very recently, where they’ve started to take very a central role in our lives.
Intelligent technologies today are computer-aided systems that completely control all industrial pipelines. They can operate autonomously and on this account all processes can be managed independently.
Today’s logistics do not resemble one-way storage of goods seen up to a few years ago. This is due to new web technologies that allow an entirely new level of interaction within the moving parts of a given logistics eco-system. As these technologies continue developing at a rapid pace, several partially and fully automated logistic frameworks are already readying for deployment."
"When we compare Industry 4.0 advantages and classic ERP programs advantages We see below points ;
- Space-efficient storage. This will save in warehouse areas and volumes. Ex. Kardex Remstar applications, vertical storage solutions
- ERP’s are integrated warehouse management software.
So the error will be absolutely minimal. Prevention of losses due to lack of communication in monolithic systems that have one point of failure.
- Automatic and controlled product circulation. This will allow for increased work safety and fewer work accidents. This will naturally result in risk reduction resulting from controllability, especially in hazardous material logistics.
- Line feed, standby modules. So perfect stock management, “0” inventory loss.
- Automatic finished product warehouses. This will allow for unmanned warehouses, fast vehicle loading and unloading systems that can work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Cellular transfer storage systems.
For distribution centers and warehouse management systems that implement Industry 4.0 technologies, data needs to be collected, analyzed, acted on, and secured in order to partake in the data driven decision-making Industry 4.0 advertises."
Modern Transport problems arise when it is difficult behavior in A system according to the best possible pattern, being affected by traffic, human errors or accidents. In such cases, unpredictability can be helped by AI SERVICES
In the past decade, auto manufacturers have installed various technologies designed to make cars safer, more responsive, and more pleasurable to drive. From the hands-free cellphone, to iPod berths, to satellite radio, to automated parking—not to mention Google’s self-driving vehicle—the automobile is undergoing an electronic overhaul that promises to transform its role for consumers. What once was perceived as personal transportation is fast evolving into a new mobile device, merging with the digital world into an all-encompassing communications environment.
This ongoing transformation is poised to shift into high gear as cars display still greater connectivity and broader capabilities than ever. What makes this shift different from the way automobiles adopted new technologies in the past is that this time, automakers may have to consider how they can quickly merge consumer electronics and software with their traditional automotive systems.

Francisco Green Careers
In and around Silicon Valley we occasionally spot a driverless car, in particular the Google 'self-
driving car', which is the lettering printed on the side of each of these vehicles. The Google
autonomous car is a project led and developed by Google that is involving technology for the
autonomous car.
Google's project is currently being led by Sebastian Thrun, director of the Stanford Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View. At Stanford, Thrun and his team
created the robotic vehicle Stanley which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and a prize of $2
million prize from the DOD (U.S. Department of Defense).
Google's self-driving car is not the only one, and other auto manufacturers, including Tesla, are
developing driver-less cars. The U.S. Army is also in the process of developing autonomous vehicles
for military use.
The prototyped driverless cars today have successfully navigated 300,000+ miles, bringing the
autonomous car concept into reality, where a consensus in the auto industry is focused on 2020 as
the realistic time frame for the autonomous cars to become commercially viable. Startups,
technology companies and auto makers have moved into this segment in the transportation space,
making proven progress towards self-driving, enhancing safety, improved vehicle operations,
connecting via networks or satellites, providing tools, applications and alerts to improve the driving
experience. For example: collision avoidance, GPS navigation capabilities, Transportation planning
in urban areas, alleviating traffic congestion, parking management and more, are all incorporated
into the car and the use of mobile devices: a smartphone or a tablet.
Such a revolution, however, requires further thought: Will there be a need for infrastructural change
and to what extent? How costly would that be? What are the next steps in development? What will
the social and cultural challenges in promoting driverless vehicle operation? Will our society allow to
'take' people out of the driver's seat? Will there be a need for legislation? What would be the next
steps in public education and how to promote self-driving cars for mass adoption? And more.
Last Friday the Telecom Council and the AutoTech Council organized an event in Silicon Valley,
which was centered on the future of the autonomous car. The event was open to members and
guests of the the two organizations. Entrepreneurs and startups presented various technologies and
breakthrough concepts. Below are a few selected presentations:
Peloton Technology - The trucking business is a $650 billion industry in the U.S. Peloton technology
connects pairs of trucks on the road through drivers' collaboration. The system augmens both
drivers' ability, increases their safety, and reduces costs through fuel efficiency. Peloton's system
uses radar and DSRC vehicle-to-vehicle communications to link safety systems between pairs of
trucks, while drivers remain fully engaged and retain steering control, but acceleration and braking
are adaptively controlled by the system. This results in reduction in aerodynamic drag, providing
fuel economy for pairs of trucks. Peloton claims on-road testing showing savings of more than 10%
fuel costs for each truck. Website: www.peloton-tech.com
MetroTech - Addresses car and fleet safety by capturing real time traffic data using the existing
network infrastructure. MetroTech idea is to serve as a 3rd party traffic data clearinghouse to
2. connect the city government infrastructure with the public and private infrastructure, receiving
inputs from camera feeds, sensors and GPS probes to create a fully integrated traffic vision center.
Furthermore, the data will be published to client markets in real time.
For example: To increase traffic safety, capturing data from an intersection and using it to avoid
collisions in intersections. Traffic analytics, video analytics, and predictive analytics are all
processed together to identify and alert of potential issues. Since the data is processed in real time,
it gives immediate feedback. Sensors, apps, cameras, algorithms, and computer processing over the
cloud have come together to increase safety in metropolitan areas. Website:

Savari Networks - With the growing number of vehicles on U.S. roads, accelerating the need for
better transportation systems, i.e. the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems, which
refers to myriad of technologies, from information processing, sensors, communications, control, to
electronics. By integrating these elements into a transportation system and by utilizing information
exchange between roadside infrastructure and vehicles, can increase vehicle safety, save time and
resources, and more.
Savari product is an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that improves roadside infrastructure
and promotes traffic safety while connecting vehicles and drivers to the network. The ITS technology
enhances the use of automated cars and focuses on collision avoidance in intersections, provides
signal violation warnings and road conditions, and enables vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In
addition to data collection of traffic, weather, parking availability, etc., it offers e-payment over
wireless networks.
Savari was developed over an open platform which allows portability across various custom vehicle
platforms. Savari's technology is patent pending. Website: http://www.savarinetworks.com
3. Kymeta - Today, users on the go demand and depend upon affordable broadband communications,
any time, any where. Wireless communications doesn't cover oceans, skies and vast land areas.
Kymeta creates mobility solutions via satellite communications. When it comes to the autonomous
car, the wi-fi networks have limited bandwidth and are owned by the network operators. The
autonomous car requires fast, non-stationary and constant data feed and networking capabilities
while in motion. Satellite solutions are available and present the cheapest data per bit broadcasting
to and from a car.
Kymeta offers the Metamaterials Surface Antenna Technology (MSA-T) providing satellite user
technologies. The Kymeta antenna will be used on airplanes at the end of the year, is being tested in
various types of vehicles, and more.
Satellite communications is consumer priced and at an industrial grade. It opens up a powerful and
uncrowded spectrum for continuos broadband communications. It's the spacerace for a second time,
simply with a twist.Website: www.kymetacorp.com
MotionLab - Line tracking motion is used in apps developed for the autonomous car. MotionLab has
developed robotic technology that uses algorithms that allow vehicles to plan their motions and
actually to drive themselves. Through mechanizing the driving skills, MotionLab products
demonstrate various motion actions like making a right turn or parallel parking. Smoothness of
tracking is important to avoid jerky corrections to the motion in line. Advanced sensors and robotic
devices track forward travel, as well as backward motion.
The technology can simulate eleven motions: 1. Park Forward; 2. Park Backward; 3. Line Tracking;
4. Regular Polygon; 5. Star; 6. Circle Tracking; 7. Circle Train; 8. Circle Ring; 9. Hamburger; 10.
Curvature Motion (based on six individual motions); and 11. Cyclone.
4. These motions are addressed by MotionLab's algorithms for any vehicle and any circumstances.
Also, the robotic system can navigate a static object, which could be a stationary human body, and
execute obstacle-avoidance actions. Website: www.MotionLab.com
