This document discusses the past, present, and future of driving automation technology. It describes how cars have evolved from being purely analog to now incorporating electronic sensors. Currently, some cars can assist with parking and maintain speed and distance from other vehicles. Researchers are working to develop fully autonomous vehicles that can drive themselves through the use of sensors, cameras, radar and connectivity between vehicles via cloud networks. The goal is for intelligent cars to significantly reduce traffic accidents caused by human error.

1. The future of ICTs:
HUAWEI Y EOI
A travel from the past to the
future of driving.

2. A look to
the past.

3. In the not so far
past, the cars had a
completely analogic
structure.

4. A few years after the first
car, the “electronic” had
woken up.
The first electronic
elements created to help
the driver have
appeared.

5. • The cars start having sensors
in order to measure some
properties of the
environment (e.g. outside
temperature) and the car
performance ( e.g.
consumption, average
speed…).

6. A look to
the
present.

7. Just a little after, cars with externals sensors appeared. This new technology
allows for some firms to walk the first step into automated cars, where the
car helps the driver in the parking process by makeing a sound when the car
aproach an obstacle, even in places the driver cant see.
A bit later this technology evolves and now the car don’t helps in the
process but instead can almost park itself after the push of a button. This
new models can manage the Wheel and let the know when to press a pedal.

8. The
technology
can evolve
even
more!!

9. With the use of sensors, cameras, radars… the car can get close to
the final objective:
Total autonomy of the car.

10. It’s already being
implemented.
Some firms have their
prototypes on the streets.
The technology have
reached a point where the
car can:
Keep the trail.
Adapt and maintain the
speed according to the
traffic.

11. A look into
the future.

12. This can be improved in many
ways. At the moment there are two
main research directions:
Add a better GPS + road maps,
so the car know exactly where it
is and how to get where you
want to go.
Create a virtual network where
all the cars are connected to
each other.

13. The most promising research going on at the
moment revolves around the idea of allowing
cars to talk between each other in real time,
and with the road in a network “CLOUD”.
This would help to avoid accidents caused
by:
 Lack of visibility (sharp bends, thick fog…).
 The state of the road ( traffic jams, poor
road conditions…)
It can be also used to solve parking
problems, as well as many
other advantages.

14. Severe traffic accidents are
unfortunately a serious matter.
Unfortunately car accident
happens frequently.
Statistics show that most (over
90%) happen caused by human
error.
In the future with “intelligent
cars” all of this will be avoided.

15. Welcome to the
future.
