Self Driving Cars

​By Stan Chrzanowski
There has been much excitement in the automotive world about the manufacturing of self-automated or self-driving cars. Big names in the automotive world such as Nissan and Toyota say that they are aiming to have completely self-driving cars by 2020 and Audi says that they will have the same by 2025.
The owner of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, says that he can make fully self-driving safe cars in the next two years.
There are many different ways to approach the design and production of self-driving cars. Audi is trying to keep these self-driving cars to look as normal as possible. The most recent test they ran was on Oct. 19, 2015. They used their fully autonomous system included things like radar, cameras, ultrasonic systems, and a laser guidance system.
All of this information from these sensors gets relayed back into a central unit called the Zentrale Fahrerassistenzsteuergerät or zFAS for short.
This car made a lap on this track without a human behind the wheel and made a faster pass than any human could make. This prototype was specifically made for the sole purpose of racing on this track rather than being a practical driving car for the streets, but Audi still says that it is a step in the right direction.
​
In 2010 a fully self-driving Audi TT made it up the Pikes Peak mountain climb race in Colorado. It was a partnership between Audi and Stanford University.
The Google car is taking a completely different approach to this technology. They are trying to create a self-driving car as fast as possible rather than taking a slow gradual progression towards this technology. They were pulled over once by a cop for going too slow on the roads. When the cop showed up there was no driver to ticket so no ticket was filed.
Google claims that they test all cars at 25 MPH so they seem approachable and intimidating. The Google car later claimed that they have never gotten pulled over during one test on the road.
            Everyone is taking different approaches on how to go about making a self-automated car and we could have them as early as 2018.
            New developments in Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) are starting to become more frequent in the automotive world. This system can aid the driver in avoiding collisions by applying the brakes in the driver’s car faster than the driver can react to do so. Most of these systems are run by radar.
The AEB module will first warn the driver of a possible crash and if the crash can still not be avoided by the driver, then the AEB will apply the brakes and try to stop the car. Many early developments have been very successful and may become standard issue in cars over the next few years. Self-driving cars may not be so distant in the future any more.
