  3. NOT: Future Vehicle Technologies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx6keHpeYak

  4. More Likely: Future Vehicle Technologies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWj44GjrSs0

  5. More Likely: Future Vehicle Technologies http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos/Subaru%20EyeSight_Commercial60secCrashTest.mp4 http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos/Subaru%20EyeSight_Commercial60secCrashTest.mp4

  6. The Problem….We Love the Freedom & Mobility But…Continuous Vigilance is an unrealistic requirement for drivers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjHXtGC13wo http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos/HIGHWAY_SING-A-LONG_%20BuildMeUpButtercup.mp4

  7. Early Estimate of Motor Vehicle Traffic Fatalities in 2012

  8. We really Need to get to Up to today: Primarily concerned with safety standards associated with Crash Mitigation (air bags, seat belts, crash worthiness, …) Even though Safety Doesn’t Sell, Some Automakers are Leading the Way http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos/Subaru%20EyeSight_Commercial60secCrashTest.mp4

  9. Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles Extending its vehicle safety standards from Crash Mitigation to Crash Avoidance with Aim at Full Self-Driving Automation Level 0 (No automation) The human is in complete and sole control of safety-critical functions (brake, throttle, steering) at all times. Level 1 (Function-specific automation) The human has complete authority, but cedes limited control of certain functions to the vehicle in certain normal driving or crash imminent situations. Example: electronic stability control  Level 2 (Combined function automation) Automation of at least two control functions designed to work in harmony (e.g., adaptive cruise control and lane centering) in certain driving situations. Enables hands-off-wheel and foot-off-pedal operation. Driver still responsible for monitoring and safe operation and expected to be available at all times to resume control of the vehicle. Example: adaptive cruise control in conjunction with lane centering Level 3 (Limited self-driving) Vehicle controls all safety functions under certain traffic and environmental conditions. Human can cede monitoring authority to vehicle, which must alert driver if conditions require transition to driver control. Driver expected to be available for occasional control. Example: Google car Level 4 (Full self-driving automation) Vehicle controls all safety functions and monitors conditions for the entire trip. The human provides destination or navigation input but is not expected to be available for control during the trip. Vehicle may operate while unoccupied. Responsibility for safe operation rests solely on the automated system Buses & Trucks SmartDrivingCars,

  10. Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles What the Levels Deliver: Levels 1 -> 3: Increased Safety, Comfort& Convenience Level 4 (Driverless Opportunity) : Efficiency, Equity Revolutionizes “Mass Transit” by enabling the provision of mobility without incurring a Labor Cost There is Fundamental Value Delivered and Need for Research, Certification and Commercialization throughout the evolution from Level 1 through Level 4

  11. In the Showroom Today http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos/2014%20E-Class%20Commercial%20--%20Hard%20to%20Imagine%20--%20Mercedes-Benz.mp4 http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos/MB_Commercial_Grim_Reaper.mp4 http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos/MB_Clown_Commercial.mp4 • BAS-Plus • Active Lane-Keeping Assist (braking not steering  ) • Intelligent Drive (active steering  ) Volvo Truck Emergency braking

  12. Why New Jersey? • Observation: • Other States are have begun to jump on this… • California & Google’s Self-Driving Car Initiative • Turned to focus investment on intelligence automation of the individual vehicle • letting the infrastructure to be optimized for the conventional driver.. Brilliant!! • Enables “Start small; grow fast” • Florida:  Automated car takes test drive on Selmon Expressway • Michigan: University of Michigan to build $6.5M track to test automated cars in Ann Arbor • Texas TTI Developing New Automated and Connected Transportation Test Bed • California NASA, Google announce lease at Ames Research CenterAmes • Action Item: • Get New Jersey and the NJ/NY/PA Region nvolved by Leveraging the Ft. Monmouth Facility. Create the Job, Improve mobility safety and the environment. Create the specifications and certifications for Automated Collision Avoidance Technology and eventually driverless vehicles.

  13. NASA, Google announce lease at Ames Research CenterAmes http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/pdf/255793main_June.08.Agram.smallfile.pdf

  14. Mercedes-Benz sends autonomous automobiles onto the USA's most extensive testing ground http://www.cnbc.com/id/102049263

  15. Why New Jersey? • Observation: • NJ Transit and many private companies operate one of the most extensive bus transit systems in the nation • The MTA and SEPTA also operate extensive bus transit systems • Average Nationwide Bus Casualty & Liability Expense in 2011 = $8,069/Bus • Action Item: • Create the specifications and certifications for Automated Collision Avoidance Technology for buses so as to substantially reduce the expected Bus Casualty & Liability exposure of NJ Transit and the other bus operators in the region and around the country. This suggests a very favorable business opportunity for Bus transit Companies NJ’s and the Regions Bus (and Truck) Operators have vested fiduciary and societal interests in contributing to the achievement of this action item.

  16. Why New Jersey? • Observation: • New Jersey is the home of NAHQ of: • Mercedes, BMW, Subaru, Jaguar, Volvo & Ferrari • Action Item: • Create an environment that is conducive for these companies (and others) to successfully: enhance, test and accelerate the adoption of their versions of SmartDrivingCars This suggests a very favorable business opportunity for Car Companies NJ’s Car Manufacturers thus have vested fiduciary and societal interests in contributing to the achievement of this action item.

  17. Why New Jersey? • Observation: • New Jersey is the home to major Wireless Communications companies: • Verizon Wireless, Qualcomm (regional office) • Only persons not engaged in driving should be consuming the services of these companies in a car. • > 80% of the time there is only one person in a car. • Communication services to this “80%” market should be restricted to times when “NHTSA Level 3” automation is available. • Action Item: • Create the SmartDrivingTechnology that is certified for “NHTSA Level 3” automation for more & more Cars and “Lane-Miles” This creates an evermore favorable business opportunity for Wireless Service Providers. NJ’s Wireless Service Providers thus have vested fiduciary and societal interests in contributing to the achievement of this action item.
