FUTURE CARSBY- RISHAB BHATIA

What is a car ?• A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for

transportation and a product of the automotive industry. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels with tyres, and to be, constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.

• The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car. In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century. One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world for the transport of people rather than goods.

What to look in future ?• In future we are going to experience a whole load of new

technological advancement is automobile world. We are going to watch out for cars in different categories such as :- Electric cars Hybrid cars Flying cars Autonomous cars Hydrogen cars Gasoline powered cars

ELECTRIC CARS• An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one

or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or another energy storage device. Electric motors give electric cars instant torque, creating strong and smooth acceleration. They are also around three times as efficient as cars with an internal combustion engine. The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s

Hybrid Cars

• Hybrid cars combine two sources of power.

• They give off little pollution.

• Can be powered by many fuels.

• Can run off of batteries of a liquid fuel engine.

FLYING CARS• A flying car is a type of personal air vehicle that provides

door to door by both air and road. The term flying car is often used to include roadable aircrafts.

• Many prototypes have been built since the first years of the twentieth century, but no flying car has yet reached production status.

Flying cars

• The picture is of the Moller M400 flying car. It is a car of the future

• It can reach up to 400mph and it can fly up to 900 miles.

                                                                                                               

                                 

Hydrogen Cars

• Hydrogen cars are the cars of the future.

• Some hydrogen car makers are BMW, GM,

Toyota, and Honda. • All of these cars are run by liquid hydrogen

instead of gas.

Gasoline Powered Cars

• Gas cars are much more powerful than the other forms of cars

• They can reach speeds of 300+ MPH

• They give off lots of carbon monoxide and dioxide

• They are the most common type of cars.

Solar Powered Cars

• Solar powered cars use solar energy to power an electric motor directly or charge batteries.

• They use an array of solar photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity.

Autonomous vehicles• An autonomous car (driverless car] self-driving car, robotic car) is a vehicle

that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input.• Autonomous cars can detect surroundings using a variety of techniques such as

radar, lidar, GPS, odometry, and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage . Autonomous cars have control systems that are capable of analyzing sensory data to distinguish between different cars on the road, which is very useful in planning a path to the desired destination.

Autonomous Vehicles Defined

• Vehicle that get from one point to another point without human interaction.

• Implement a number of well placed sensors that detect different things such as other vehicles, people, traffic lights, and movement of other vehicles

The Technology of the Car• Anti-Lock Brakes• Electronic Stability control• Adaptive cruise control• Lane-departure warning

system• Self parking• Automated guided vehicle

systems• Lidar-Systems(with google

cars) or Cruise Automated Systems(Audi)

• Infrared cameras.

The Lidar System

Features:• Vertical and horizontal setup of the system

possible• Image acquisition with fully integrated NIKON

DSLR camera.• 3D mode of the VZ scanner with continuous

rotation of the scanning head for highly efficient mobile data acquisition.

• 360 degree static scanning.• Mainly used by Google Inc. for detecting the

surroundings of the vehicle

Cruise Systems

Features:

Cameras and Radars to map out surroundings(including other vehicles)

Used mainly for highway scenarios. Steering wheel motor mounted to

steering column. Adaptive speed control. Collision avoidance RP-1 sensors Will be made in future for other

vehicles.

Types of AlgorithmsThe combination of:• 3-D imaging with

multiple 1064 nm lasers.

• Edge-Detection Algorithm

• Motion-Detection algorithm

• Tracking algorithm

Components

• Lane departure warning– Lazy or inattentive drivers can automatically be

moved• Blind spot monitoring

– Warn if cars are in blind spots• Pedestrian detection

– Automatic brake or warning• Adaptive cruise control + forward collision warning

– Car stays a safe distance behind cars ahead of it– Warns or takes action in case of danger

Current Adoption of the Technology

• Cruise Automation• Tesla Model D announced in 2014

– Car will be able to autonomously pick owners up (on private property)

• Cadillac Super Cruise announced in 2014 for 2017 models– Hands-free driving in certain conditions– Vehicle to vehicle communication

• Ford Traffic Jam Assist announced in 2012 gives similar features

Active health monitory There is a complete lieu of car manufacturers that is working over this technology. But like always, Ford seems to be leading the race with the S-Max concept. The concept floored last year and got installed in several new cars. The system mainly works by becoming a part of car seats in form of ECG monitors.It keeps a track of passenger’s heart rate and can instantly raise alarm if occupant’s heartbeat goes haywire. It also carries an ability to monitor passenger’s blood glucose and sugar levels, though for this purpose it has to rely over information from some external devices.

GOOGLE SELF-DRIVING CAR• Google self-driving cars - all of which have test drivers at the wheel - are any

in a range of autonomous cars, developed by Google X as part of its project to develop technology for mainly electric cars. Lettering on the side of each car identifies it as a "self-driving car". The project was formerly led by Sebastian Thrun , former director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View. Thrun's team at Stanford created the robotic vehicle Stanley which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and its US$2 million prize from the United States Department of Defense.

In May 2014, Google announced plans to created driverless car that had neither a steering wheel nor pedals, and unveiled a fully functioning prototype in December of that year that they planned to test on San Francisco Bay Area roads beginning in 2015. Google plans to make these cars available to the public in 2020

• Google's robotic cars have about $150,000 in equipment including a $70,000 LIDAR system. The range finder mounted on the top is a Velodyne 64-beam laser. This laser allows the vehicle to generate a detailed 3D map of its environment. The car then takes these generated maps and combines them with high-resolution maps of the world, producing different types of data models that allow it to drive itself

TRENDING…• BMW VISION NEXT 100 YEARS• The BMW brand epitomises Sheer Driving Pleasure – past, present and into the next 100

years. BMW aims to make this fascinating driving experience even more intense in the future. The driver is in constant communication with the vehicle in an intuitive and natural way. At the same time, the vehicle expands the driver’s range of perception and transforms him or her into the “Ultimate Driver” – the best driver they can possibly be. The Companion responds to the driver’s personal needs in order to create emotionally-intense experiences.

In Boost Mode, the driver becomes one with the vehicle and will be able to experience even more intense driving pleasure in the future. In fully-automated Ease Mode, on the other hand, the Companion takes over all driving tasks and the interior is transformed into an individual comfort zone
