Self-Driving Vehicles – Innovation in Automobile Industry

Self-driving vehicles are what every competitor in the automotive industry wants to master. Everyone is trying to come out with self-driving cars but with that comes a lot of stress and liability because it is being driven by a computer. I think it is going to be a hard thing for us as human beings to adapt but I think with time it will just be normal.

These new vehicles are going to be a great help to those who are visually impaired because it’s going to allow them to do something they have never done before. To make this happen they are going to need robotics, drones, smart manufacturing, and distance measurements. This new technology is going to use for real time, 3-D Navigation Map detection, location, and warning of obstacles under all environmental conditions. These warning include the simplest things like smoke, dust, fog, heavy rain, snow and even darkness. It will even be able to tell if you are in an indoor or outdoor environment.

This project is going to take a lot of knowledge, opinions, and dedication so involved in the project are nine partners and planned to take 3 years. One big task that they are dealing with is miniaturizing and reducing the power composition of the sensors. And after being reduces they will be integrated with the inertial measurement unit, environmental sensing, wireless communications, signal processing, data processing, data fusion and a user interface.

The focus of the project is to help those that are visually impaired by giving 3D spatial sound feedback of obstacles real direction and range. These vehicles will have many awareness’s to communicate with the driver like smart traffic lights, navigation beacons and ID tags associated. This project will not work without the trust of certified parts, something that we assure here at ASAP. There are many projects in this world that need reliable parts and that is one thing that we focus on here at asap.
