  2. Thetechnology Lasers, sensors, artificial intelligence, and cameras combined allow cars to be their own driver

  3. Google leading the way • Google uses sensors within the car, a laser atop the car (Lider) and artificial intelligence to create a fully autonomous vehicle.

  4. Volkswagon • Although not fully autonomous, the Temporary Autopilot System serves as co-pilot and takes stress off the driver through sensing for obstacles and barriers.

  5. honda • At first, the driver controls the car with two joysticks, as they lose interest, the joysticks stow themselves and the seat reclines to give a living room feel.

  6. Volvo • “Platooning” • One professional driver leads a caravan of cars wirelessly where each individual can relax and enjoy the ride, but leave the string of cars and regain control at any time.

  7. BMW • The Track Trainer can mimic a previous drive and recreate without the help of a driver to “the last inch of asphalt” (Neil, 2012).

  8. The benefits “You have predictable, courteous, law-abiding, absolutely consistent driver in that vehicle. It’s a robot, it’s a machine.”– Art MacCarley
