Awakening Autonomous Vehicles

Three years ago I started developing an autonomous car. Now the automotive industry to refine the development of automatic steering technology without the driver. Mercedes even have to offer a similar technique to deal stalled
Autonomous vehicle experienced a golden age in 2013 . From the merely ambitious and impossible ideas come true , a car which can run without driver it has now become a reality mobility of the future is no longer debatable .
The automotive industry is currently competing to develop autonomous vehicles are feasible market . Audi, Daimler , Nissan , Renault , Ford and Tesla even that only produce 20,000 vehicles per year did not want to miss .
That the autonomous car fever has penetrated the automotive industry , as evidenced by the ambitious intention Volvo 100 advanced vehicles it manufactures for Götenborg city until 2017 . The Swedish manufacturer of next year will begin a series of trials with the semi - autonomous car . In the same year, Volvo will assemble the cloud computing system that will support the project called Drive Me .
Stretching Giant Technology
The development of autonomous cars can not liberated from the role of Google . Three years ago , the internet giant from the United States was almost embarrassing the automotive industry when it introduced a fleet of Toyota with automatic steering .
At that time the world's automotive manufacturers pout Google's efforts . But the current development shows just the opposite . Behind the scenes the automotive industry to boost the mobility of the future research .
Google also did not stay silent . Companies based in California that mengklai artificial autonomous car has traveled a distance of millions of miles in the United States . Last summer a number of media reports , 
Google could even produce their own car without the need to hold the other automotive manufacturers .
In addition investment worth a quarter billion dollars disbursed to a company's Google Start- Up limousine service provider is getting heat issues , that the teknoklogi giant wants to develop an autonomous taxi services .

Worthy Technology Market
Instead automotive industry began to show its teeth . Last summer a vehicle belonging to Daimler research made ​​on the basis of the Mercedes S Class drove autonomously between Mannheim and Pforzheim within 88 Kilometers .
The Stuttgart -based company even claims , autonomy technology used in these vehicles almost worthy market . The track itself was chosen to reflect the first trip Bertha Benz with a homemade car .
Mercedes is now offering technology Stop & Go Pilot for the S Class vehicles . The technique helps the car drive autonomously in a traffic jam . Create a city like Jakarta , Beijing , New Delhi , Sao Paulo or New York , the technology could greatly facilitate motorists .


Responsibility in case of accident
In contrast to Google , Automotive industry can rely on research division consisting of dozens of mechanics and technicians with a myriad of experiences . We chose a more pragmatic way . At each autonomous car technology embedded worth 150,000 U.S. dollars , among other laser -based radar system mounted on the roof of the vehicle .
The automotive industry aiming device otherwise inconspicuous , " we really want to produce autonomous vehicles to market , " said Christian Senger from Continental Research Center . Parts supplier such as Conti , Visteon Valeo of France or of the United States plays an important role in realizing an autonomous vehicle that is worth the market .
After all , Google and automobile industry confident , autonomous vehicles will already be reaching the market by 2020 . Until then , a myriad of technical problems still to be overcome . Besides the automotive industry is also faced with another problem : who is responsible if an autonomous car involved in an accident ?
" The problem has not been solved insurers , " said President of Renault and Nissan , Carlos Ghosn at the International Automobile Exhibition ( IAA ) last June . Nevertheless he believes , the industry , insurers and the government will find the right solution in the near future .
