Driverless Technology from Google Inc.


     With breakthrough technology from Google Inc., you may soon be able to sit back, relax, and take a nap in the driver seat of a moving vehicle. With the collaboration of 15 engineers, Google has developed the driver-less car technology. Operating much like the cruise control mode installed in many cars today, the driver-less system allows human drivers to take control of the car if they wish to do so. Although, that is unnecessary, because the creation is organized by elaborate maps that include the details of speed limits down to the slight curvature of the lane lines in the roadway.

     Unfortunately, most law makers are finding it difficult to digest this new innovation. The laws seem to be inadequate in the sense that they were initially structured with the notion that humans would be operating the vehicles. However, Nevada seems to be in favor of the technology. According to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, they have promptly accommodated the new machinery by passing a law on June, 29 2011 that permits the operation of driver-less cars, and even issued the first license for a self-driven car.

     The self-driving car may perhaps cause a revolution in terms of driving. Concerns of designating a sober driver on a night out could easily vanish if a vehicle has the capability to reliably drive your group home without a worry of harm. It certainly raises questions for many folks in terms of receiving moving violations as well. How will we hold a vehicle at fault in the event of an accident? Much more, determine if the human or contraption was in control? Clearly there is much work to be done in order to iron out these trepidation's,  but it is surely an exciting prospect of future normality.

Invisible Steering Wheel


     Astoundingly, the new cutting-edge technology for automobile safety happens to abandon the need for a steering wheel. Japanese automaker, Nissan, created new features that are designed to prevent collisions as opposed to typical safety features that accommodate safety during a collision. With this new technology in hand, Nissan executives plan to eliminate deaths and severe injuries involving Nissan vehicles by the year 2015. Taking a defensive driving course, online, with comedy can also help eliminate the risk accident and injury on the roadway.
     The ‘camera and processing module’, mounted on the rear-view mirror, detects the condition and direction of the roadway ahead then communicates the data to the ‘steering angle actuator’ resulting in the superlative driving performance. The vehicle nearly drives itself.
     The “autonomous emergency steering” feature intends to maneuver the vehicle to the left or right in order to avoid an accident when the breaks are not capable to stop the vehicle in time. The technology is also able to accurately detect and avoid unexpected debris and/or pedestrians.  
     When parking, Nissan also added a feature to distinguish if the driver mistakenly presses the accelerator instead of the brake.
     Nissan said that the ‘digital drive’ car will be the first of its kind to be produced commercially, and they plan to initially install the technology in the 2014 Infiniti G37S model.
