Almost every day we hear, read or witness rapidly growing new technologies. When it comes to automobile industry self-driving cars is the most discussed topic after flying cars. Unlike flying cars, we will be more likely to see self-driving cars on the roads and streets very soon. Nowadays, big companies investing in research, production, and testing of self-driving cars.
Is there any news on market?
There is a fun fact that when it comes to self-driving topic investors are not car producers. Information technology companies Google, Uber, Apple, Samsung, and others are in a competition about futuristic cars. The reason behind this action is for fully functional self-driving cars require advanced artificial computer brain in order to analyze and react in the real world.
Google uses its own Google car for testing while Volvo is Uber’s choice. Most of the U.S. companies are using Lexus SUVs for testing their systems. When it comes to the testing field of Korean information technology leader Samsung, they prefer to continue their partnership with Hyundai. Samsung Electronic’s representer recently revealed that they prefer to put more effort into developing algorithms, computer systems and sensors for car manufacturers.
What about testing process?
Uber, Waymo, and Apple are successfully testing their future cars on U.S. roads. Samsung and other companies were permitted to test their cars. So far there have been few accidents. Recently we heard about the Tesla car was involved in a fatal incident in 2016. But after further investigation, it was clear that it was the fault of the driver who ignored the alert from the computer system. The same story had happened for Uber in 2017 on one of the roads in Arizona. However, it didn’t end up well for Uber and Uber got suspended from testing. The investigation revealed that it was not driver’s fault. In conclusion, future is closer than we think. Soon we will witness incredible inventions.
