Driverless Cars - Are They Worth It?

10/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Over the past years, we have learned about many automakers developing autonomous cars for the market. Generally, autonomous vehicles are those with which you have the option to let it take over driving under particular circumstances. Recently, however, driverless cars are already in the advanced testing stage. Driverless vehicles are those without a steering wheel or pedals, which means the transport has full control.
Basics of Driverless Cars
Driverless cars depend on the many sensors they must have to be able to get around on its own. To function well, they must include different technologies such as:
  • Radar sensors- allow the vehicle to keep track of the distance between it and the other cars around them. This feature reduces the risk of bumping into other automobiles.
  • Ultrasonic wheel sensors- monitors the car's movements. This sensor is especially useful when parking because it could sense the curbs and other surrounding vehicles.
  • LiDAR- It is a camera that utilizes several sensors to measure the distance between the car and other objects. It could also observe the lane markings and the borders on the road.
  • Video- takes note of road signs, traffic lights, and other variables such as pedestrian traffic. 
  • Central Computer- processes all the obtained information and is the decision maker. It controls the way the vehicle will move.

Advantages of Driverless Cars
  1. You can enjoy and relax during the whole duration of the ride. If you ever need to travel a long distance overnight, you will be able to sleep throughout the period.
  2. Sensors could provide a more accurate view of the environment you are in compared with human senses. There may be lesser vehicular accidents by eliminating human error.
  3. It would be easier for people who have difficulty driving to travel to other places, even without a companion to drive them. 
  4. Traveling could be more efficient since these vehicles can process much more information regarding driving more than humans usually do. 

Disadvantages of Driverless Cars
  1. Very expensive
  2. Possible computer glitches
  3. Failure to understand human behavior
  4. High risk of being hacked and controlled from the outside

Even with driverless cars, there are still many possible unforeseen accidents that may occur. Remember, no matter what kind of car you use, it is essential to protect yourself by getting car insurance.
