Autonomous and self-driving car
Today, in twenty-first-century Information Technology is revolutionizing everything around us. All our daily drivers, things we depend on, things which makes our lives easy are getting smart day by day; the automobile industry is no behind and is moving with great pace. We are seeing intense growth in technology that is powering today’s automobiles enabling us to rely heavily on the system, improving our driving abilities, minimizing the chances of accidents and saving human efforts and lives in the end. With technological advancements, application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Leaning and powerful hardware to drive the system, not in distant future, we will see the vehicles that can drive themselves on urban roads with heavy traffic scenarios relieving humans from putting their immense efforts and precious time in driving the vehicles and allowing them to invest the time in doing some productive work. There will be a time in future where roads will be grids for self-driving cabs, running with no drivers, when there will be no traffic jams or conjunctions because of rough driving, when meeting will be conducted in cars, your car will drop your kids to schools, take you to hospital in emergency situations and it will be your complete infotainment system. However, there remain many facets to polish when it comes to complete self-driving experience. We still have hurdles to cross such as extreme environmental conditions, pedestrians, ethical dilemmas of decision making, etc.
