The document discusses the history and future of intelligent vehicles. It describes how early prototypes in the 1950s began exploring object detection capabilities. Major advances included Google's self-driving car in the 2000s, which uses sensors and cameras to navigate. The document outlines five levels of vehicle automation according to their ability to operate without human involvement. It predicts that future intelligent vehicles will offer advanced safety technologies, integrated mobile devices, and fully autonomous capabilities without a human driver.
Advanced driver assistance systems are designed to increase car safety more generally road safety.
Basically Advanced driver assists(ADS) systems helps the driver in the driving process and enables safe, relaxed driving. It makes sense to get your new car with driver assist features if you find it at a reasonable price as it helps you drive easily and safely in everyday use.
Under this topic i have described about the autonomous cars, on which worlds top automobile and tech giants are working like google, ford, BMW, audi etc.

An autonomous vehicle is a kind of vehicle which can drive itself to the destination without any human
conduction. This is also known as driverless vehicle, self-driving vehicle or robot vehicle. Autonomous
vehicles require the combination of various sensors to detect their surroundings and interpret the
information to identify the appropriate navigation path and the obstacles in the way.
Modern vehicles provide some autonomous features like speed controls, emergency braking or keeping
the vehicle into the lane. Here, differences remain between a fully autonomous vehicle on one hand
and driver assistance technologies on the other hand.
An autonomous car is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car. As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input.
The Internet of Cars - Towards the Future of the Connected CarJorgen Thelin
No doubt you have heard the phrase “Internet of Things” and the new buzzword “IoT” been used more and more these days, but what does that mean in practice? The Tesla Model S is probably the most well-connected car on the planet at the moment, and in this presentation we will use that vehicle as a case study of some practical usage of IoT concepts and technology that is already being applied to modern automobiles. How far away are we from a future “Internet of Cars” and what will be the social and privacy impacts of more connected-car scenarios?
I guess everyone have little knowledge about connected car technology as it has been newly introduced to auto industry. This presentation explains some common features of it i.e. Music app, Navigation, Automotive system diagnosis, Bluetooth, Road-side assistance, Hands-free control, Contextual help, Parking help, App manager, 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, ADAS etc. The most demanded features of connected car are the In-car safety features and vehicle-to-vehicle safety features. Check out for details.
After decades of anticipation, practical self-driving cars are here. Drive.ai will deploy a self-driving car service for public use in Texas starting in July.
We can continue pushing self-driving forward by focusing on three key elements: industry-leading AI technology, local partnerships, and people-centric safety.
Google Self Driving Cars
The Google Self-Driving Car is a project by Google that involves developing technology for autonomous cars. The software powering Google's cars is called Google Chauffeur. Lettering on the side of each car identifies it as a "self-driving car". The project is currently being led by Google engineer Sebastian Thrun, former director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View. Thrun's team at Stanford created the robotic vehicle Stanley which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and its US$2 million prize from the United States Department of Defense. The team developing the system consisted of 15 engineers working for Google, including Chris Urmson, Mike Montemerlo, and Anthony Levandowski who had worked on the DARPA Grand and Urban Challenges.
Legislation has been passed in four states and the District of Columbia allowing driverless cars. The U.S. state of Nevada passed a law on June 29, 2011, permitting the operation of autonomous cars in Nevada, after Google had been lobbying in that state for robotic car laws. The Nevada law went into effect on March 1, 2012, and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles issued the first license for an autonomous car in May 2012, to a Toyota Prius modified with Google's experimental driverless technology. In April 2012, Florida became the second state to allow the testing of autonomous cars on public roads, and California became the third when Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law at Google HQ in Mountain View. In July 2014, the city of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho adopted a robotics ordinance that includes provisions to allow for self-driving cars.

driverless car 2020 is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input.[4] Many such vehicles are being developed, but as of May 2017 automated cars permitted on public roads are not yet fully autonomous and driverless car google
>DESCRIPTION:
Google Self-driving Cars are developed by Google [X] as part of its project to develop technology for mainly electric cars.
A Self-driving car (driver-less car, unmanned car, autonomous car, robotic car) is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human supervision or input. These modern cars are incorporated with finest features which allow them to operate autonomously.
Autonomous and unmanned technology is emerging gradually but continually, with new opportunities for its employment likely to follow in almost every industry which are involve in vehicle manufacturing like Ford, BMW, Audi etc.
Despite of the fact that this technology is emerging but autonomous and unmanned vehicles involve a transfer of control from direct human input to automated or self-control. This has implications for the determination of liability in the event of an incident, and will be a key factor in the pricing and risk transfer.
>MISSION:
According to Jennifer Haroon (Head of Business Operations - Google[X]):
“Our mission is to improve people’s life by transforming ability, and when we talk about transforming ability, one of the main part of that is “Safety”
>HISTORY:
The vision behind the Google Autonomous Cars was began as early as the 1939 New York World’s Fair where visitors were presented a vision of automated cars.
Another concept behind the “Google Driver-less Car” is the advertise from 1950’s showing a family on route trip.
>BEGINNING:
Numerous major companies and research organizations have developed working prototype autonomous vehicles, including Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Continental Automotive Systems, IAV, Autoliv Inc., Bosch, Nissan, Renault, Toyota, Audi, Volvo, Tesla Motors, Peugeot, AKKA Technologies, Vislab from University of Parma, Oxford University and Google.
The reason behind the popularity of “Google Autonomous Vehicle” is because in May 2014, Google presented a new concept for their driver-less car that had neither a steering wheel nor pedals, and unveiled a fully functioning prototype in December of that year that they planned to test on San Francisco Bay Area roads beginning in 2015.
>TECHNOLOGY:
Google's robotic cars have about $150,000 in equipment. The software installed in Google's cars is named Google Chauffeur as well as including Lasers, Cameras, Radars, and Computing System that makes it into a “Self Driving Vehicle”
>SURVEY:
Expert members of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) have determined that driver-less vehicles will be the most viable form of intelligent transportation. They estimate that up to 75% of all vehicles will be autonomous by 2040.
A self-driving car (sometimes called an autonomous car or driverless car) is a vehicle that uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to travel between destinations without a human operator.

Google Car
As we know the trends are being influenced in our modern world with respect to the advancement of technology in our society accordingly. The perceptions of consumers related to cars are widely influenced because of the continuous increase of our daily life expense. This paper is about the Google self driving car which is a project by Google that engages rising technology for self driving cars. The cars exploit a blend of technologies, together with radar sensors on the front side, movie cameras intended at the adjacent area, a variety of other sensors and synthetic intellect software that aids in guiding. There have been no mishaps while the cars were managed by the computer. The system makes at the speed boundary, it has stored in its ways and keeps its space from other automobiles by means of its system of sensors. The system offers an override that permits a human driver to keep control of the vehicle by moving on the brake or rotating the wheel. As the thought of a Google Car was initiated, the appraisals have been polarized. Here is abundance of optimistic remarks about Google Car. Google’s firm and huge database, particularly data on maps is very much praised and trusted to be practical and necessary in advancement of the self driving car. In this paper, the discussions have been made about testing and troubleshooting, finalizing and Users' manual about the Google driverless car project.
It has been produced prototypes of a self driving car already by Google. However, actually advertising them and locating them on the way is another story. The organization recognizes that at the present time, mobile networks are not prepared to deal vehicles. The major carriers hardly have sufficient ranges to serve their human clients, however work is in progress to get used to the white space range for machine-to-machine associations. In the United States of America, Google is a manager of a database of white space, meaning that it adds to list tools that is to be employed on the white space range. On the other hand, Google may have to discover other alternatives for its associated cars. The white space range is most excellently matched for signals that have extended range and inferior frequency than those that convey voice and facts over mobile networks. The majority M2M signals do not require to be conveyed constant at increase speeds. However, those of a self driving car might be a significant immunity. The car also contains other sensors, which comprise: four radars, located on the face and back bumpers, that facilitate the car to "observe" distant enough to be intelligent to take care of fast traffic on freeways; a movie camera, placed close to the back-view mirror, that senses traffic luminosities and a GPS, inertial calculation unit, and wheel encoder, that find out the car's position and keep follow on its activities (Martha DeGrasse, 2013).
For Road testing, the project team has prepared a test task force of ten cars at .

3. In the last few years, artificial intelligence as a whole
has become one of the most talked about concepts in
the technological world.With this in mind, car
companies and government agencies have taken this
branch of computer sciences and tried to apply it to
vehicles, with different purposes.
Intelligent vehicles, is the term used for automobiles,
that have the capacity of perceiving the environment
around them, and acting in response to that
environment, without much help from a human
being.
4. Within the wide array of functions that
intelligent vehicles cover, automated driving
is probably the most profitable and
interesting area.
Google’s roboticToyota Prius, produced in
collaboration with tech company Urmson, is a
functional example of automated vehicles.
5. The car works with sensors
that recreate the
environment in a digital 3D
map.
Once the map has been
created, the car’s computer
combines that, with high-
resolution maps, and
cameras in the bumpers, to
avoid obstacles.
The system is all guided by
a GPS, in a way similar to
remote controlled cars.
6. Level 0:The driver completely controls the vehicle at all times.
Level 1: Individual vehicle controls are automated, such as
electronic stability control or automatic braking.
Level 2: At least two controls can be automated in unison, such as
adaptive cruise control in combination with lane keeping.
Level 3: The driver can fully cede control of all safety-critical
functions in certain conditions.The car senses when conditions
require the driver to retake control and provides a "sufficiently
comfortable transition time" for the driver to do so.
Level 4: The vehicle performs all safety-critical functions for the
entire trip, with the driver not expected to control the vehicle at
any time. As this vehicle would control all functions from start to
stop, including all parking functions, it could include unoccupied
cars.
In the United States, the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has
established an official classification system.
7. The idea of self-driven cars
has floated in the
technological world, for more
than 70 years, since General
Motor’s Futurama exhibit, in
which futuristic concepts
where, such as this one, were
first thrown around.
By 1950, the first primitive
scale, and real-size, models
were created, one of which
featured coils that would
recognize another object’s
presence and react by
steering towards a different
direction.
8. "The cart successfully crossed a chair-filled room
without human intervention in about five
hours.” In 1979, the first real step towards was
taken in the journey towards intelligent vehicles,
with the Stanford Cart.
Even though it is now relatively primitive,
compared to the options we have now, the
Stanford Cart, presented a thought process
similar to the one we use now. It had image
processing capabilities, that combined with
simple algorithms allowed the vehicle to move
around the chair-filled room.
9. Parking sensors, automatic night lights.
Remote access to car’s performance: basic
checks and simple analysis will be offered
with the Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric
Drive.
Digital DriveStyle App. Allows access to key
functionalities of the smartphone in the vehicle.
Developed with road safety in mind and is designed
to avoid distracting drivers during their journey.
10. Google Glass could be aligned with a car’s
sat-nav system to offer complete ‘door-to-
door’ navigation. When the driver gets out of his
car, Google’s spectacle-style device takes over
guidance to their final destination.
11. “The car learns, adapts, predicts and interacts
with the driver,”
“Autonomous driving won’t happen overnight. It
will need legislation, more detailed map data,
more computing power and an intensive social
debate.”
"We are working full speed to introduce
autonomous driving functions into the cars that
come to the market in the next years.”
-ThomasWeber, Mercedes-Benz’s research and development
boss.
