Innovation in Engineering – Coursework 2
The Automobile
Introduction
The automobile is considered to be one of the greatest innovations in engineering to date which has changed the lives of people forever. It has made travelling a long distance much faster and as a result the automobile has given people the ability to commute a longer distance for work. The automobile is an innovation which people in the twenty-first century take for granted but this was not the case only a mere one hundred years ago.
This purpose of this report is to examine the way in which the automobile has changed the lives of people and also how technology, performance and safety has increased significantly in the automobile.
The four parts of this report which will …show more content…
This allows the driver of the car to set the car to a particular speed limit and if the driver approaches a car ahead which is going slower it will automatically detect the car using built in sensors and slow down. The reason this technology is so interesting is because it shows people that the idea of self-driving cars is possible and that the technology is almost there to make it possible. Apple were reported to have invested lots of time and money into a secret project code named ‘Project Titan’ which was set-up to research the possibility of self-driving cars. When people heard about this project they thought it was a ludicrous idea, but with the subtle introduction of a technology like adaptive cruise control, engineers have shown people that the technology is almost there and this futuristic idea of cars driving themselves is only around the …show more content…
These advancements have not only made cars faster, more reliable and a lot safer but they have also improved people’s standard of living. Cars are available at a price which if affordable to almost everybody and they are a lot greener too which is not only good for people’s general heath but its only important for the earth’s atmosphere. It’s also clear that innovations in areas like car performance and technology have shown the world that there are no limitations associated with what engineers can do with cars and this has opened people’s minds to the idea of self-driving
