3. Self-Driving Cars: Features and Benefits • Half a century ago self-driving cars were only a part of the sci-fi genre. But as technology progressed, the concepts that were once considered inconceivable are now nearing reality. Although still in a trial stage, driverless cars hold great potential in revolutionizing the way we take to the roads in the future. Having your hands off the steering wheel and letting the car navigate sounds exciting. Of course, before jumping into the next automated car, it’s important to know how things work.

4. Self-Driving Cars: Features and Benefits • How it works • The technical functioning of autonomous cars is extremely complex. They rely on sensors, actuators, machine learning and AI, and other sophisticated software and hardware. To provide a simple overview, driverless cars are fitted with powerful radars and video cameras that monitor surrounding environments. These sensors detect other vehicles, pavements or any kind of hurdle in the normal trajectory of the car. Besides this, they are also capable of identifying traffic lights and lane markings. Ultrasonic sensors that are fitted near the wheels detect curbs while parking, taking reverse cameras up a notch. All this data is collected and made available to the car’s actuator which then decides when to accelerate, brake, take the next turn or reverse.

5. Self-Driving Cars: Features and Benefits • Benefits of self-driving cars • 1. Reduced Human Error • As high-end computer software will be in greater charge of the car, human interaction will significantly reduce. This leaves no room for reckless driving - over-speeding, jumping traffic signals, drunk driving, frequent lane changing, etc. Hence, a reduction in human error will also translate to fewer accidents on roads and accidental deaths. • 2. Convenient for specially-abled, senior citizens • Since shifting gears, accelerating, turning, etc. need no human contact, driverless cars are a perfect alternative for the physically immobile or less mobile people – specially-abled and the elderly population.

6. Self-Driving Cars: Features and Benefits • This can go a long way in case of emergencies for these individuals as cabs aren’t always available when you need them. Simply getting into a vehicle and just calling out a destination could be extremely useful for many specially-abled people. • 3. Reduced carbon emissions • Accelerating or braking harshly leads to more CO2 emission. Driverless cars are equipped with powerful sensors that predict the best move, thereby ensuring these cars move at a consistent speed and there is no last-minute braking or hasty acceleration. This will also reduce fuel consumption.

7. Self-Driving Cars: Features and Benefits • It can be a long time before self-driving cars are manufactured for commercial use, naturally. Until then, many Indian manufacturers are producing hybrid vehicles, like Maruti Suzuki Cars, that are both fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly.
