Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Autonomous vehicles are the future and becoming increasingly common on the roads along with many impressive driverless features.
However, as we move along into the winter months, it is worth raising the question of whether or not these cars are safe in the winter conditions.
This particular time of the year has been known to pose extra challenges on the road. [Read more…] about Are autonomous cars safe in bad driving conditions?
Mercedes-Benz stands out among its competitors in the race for autonomy in one important way, reports the Economic Times – in its reliance on its own engineers (rather than the general public) to validate its new advanced driver assistance system.
Most recently, the German firm announced that it has developed a similar system to Tesla’s Fully Self Driving Software. This system is currently being tested and promises to reduce accident rates in a dramatic way, since computers have an ability to react to road hazards much faster than human beings do.
What features does this system promise and when is it likely to appear on public roads? [Read more…] about Mercedes-Benz pioneers new automated driving software
As we put more and more emphasis on AI and automation, in the near future we can expect to see the growth in self-driving cars to incline exponentially.
While there is a lot of skepticism as well as the general questioning of this growing trend of being a healthy one for society as a whole, self-driving automated vehicles do have a variety of advantages that they can offer to the world.
Unfortunately, not many people realize this and choose to overlook these benefits in favor of a more dour and depressing outlook on the future. However, these benefits do exist and they can help us in many ways. [Read more…] about The Self-Driving Future
Artificial intelligence (AI) is simply an intelligent machine.
Unlike a human’s natural intelligence, AI is where a machine has been programmed to possess intelligence which can help make jobs and tasks easier for us.
It’s used in many industries, but one where it is already present and going to thrive further is in the fleet industry. [Read more…] about Driving the future: How AI will shape the fleet industry
Automotive technology has come a long way over the years, and as you may know already, autonomous cars will be the next big innovation. Autonomous cars, also known as self-driving cars, are vehicles that use advanced technology to drive themselves.
They do not require the input or supervision of a human driver. Some of the giant motor vehicle manufacturers have actually produced dozens of these vehicles by now, but it seems there will be a long wait before we can have these driverless cars everywhere. Nonetheless, here are four ways self-driving cars will change our lives. [Read more…] about 4 Ways Self-Driving Cars Will Change Our Lives
The concept of “driverless” had existed for decades, and as time went on, it became a reality. And it is emerging to be the norm in the next decade.
Especially because of Google’s most surprising startup – Waymo. This company originally started off as a self-driving car project but has made a name of itself.
In fact, Waymo is even launching driverless taxi services in Phoenix. Driverless cars are all the rage now, but so are startups. [Read more…] about Driverless cars: what technology do they need apart from being ‘driverless’?
Parking at the airport could soon be less stressful. Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, and the parking garage operator Apcoa want to introduce driverless and highly automated parking on Level 4 of Stuttgart airport.
The automated valet parking (AVP) system co-developed by Bosch and Mercedes-Benz is to be made ready for commercial operation and will provide the world’s first commercial automated valet parking service.
The parking garage operator Apcoa is testing barrier and payment functions as the basis for automated valet parking, enabled by its Apcoa Flow digital mobility platform. [Read more…] about Stuttgart airport set for Mercedes-Benz S-Class highly automated and driverless parking
