Driverless car

Imagine a small frog crossing a busy highway in order to escape a predator. It has managed to avoid getting run over by cars, and has landed on the road centerline. It is only a matter of time before a car drifts slightly and smashes the frog; is it safer for the frog to stay in the same place, or to complete the journey to the other side and risk getting hit? Humans have crossed half the metaphorical road of environmental control in an effort to escape the hands of the gods. Throughout the…

A small car comes up from behind me, zigzagging between the cars, travelling too fast. He cut in front of me, almost hit my car from front. Hanging his head out the window, he yells something at me and speed away. My first though was "What a crazy and rude!", as I thought it is inappropriate to violate the traffic rules like that and risking other people's life. So judging from his way of driving and the kind of the car I knew that this person is clearly crazy and…

a good job of addressing the issues involving body worn cameras. Although many of the issues have been addressed through the use of in-car camera systems, the body worn cameras do require additional concerns and issues to be addressed. Similar to the implementation of the in-car cameras, there are many questions and concerns. Since the implementation of the in-car cameras, I believe many officers and citizens have found them to be beneficial. Truth be known, the only negativity my particular…

rotation). Experimental Design: My group’s testable question throughout the mousetrap car experiment was: If we add and subtract factors such as material, weight and shape, from the wheels of our car, how will it affect the distance the car is able to travel? The independent variable in our experiment was the material of the wheels of our car. The dependant variable in the experiment was the distance our car traveled. The controlled variables in this experiment were the placement of the wheels…

“The car had already turned in lap times that were far better than the ones of sports cars drivers” And in a very innocent asking from an innocent press, Audi might have had the car racing murdered for as we have known it. Well, cheers guys. The car was an automatic version of the new RS7, and yeah, it’s the one who got this passenger ride the previous year and the track on which they were racing was California’s tricky Sonoma raceway. We have been told that the Audi’s self-driving 560bhp having…

For all the enthusiast driven, car fanatics and even for those who remotely follow the automotive industry; the heated debate about which Hypercar takes the podium position is nothing new. I’m talking about the bedazzling red LaFerrari, the immaculate McLaren P1 and the showstopper: Porsche 918 Spyder. In an age, where the Hybrid wars are characterized by relentless arguments about efficiency, CO2 emissions, the environment and what not, the addition of hybrid and electric hybrid technology…

An obvious fact is that we are living in a traffic-ridden time It appears that the number of cars on our roads is increasing at a fast rate yet the roads still remain the same or expand slightly. This leads to you spending more time on the road, burning more fuel, and also causing more pollution. Yes it may seem like norm and many of us are accustomed to it But, did you know traffic…

an available cab, unsure how much a ride will cost, or whether it will let pay by card, and being uncertain about the arrival time given the traffic jam are all common complaints consumers have about taxis. Until some years ago, taxis were the only car service providers that could move people around a city, usually in a convenient, fast and comfortable way. However, many unmet needs and high regulations, combined with low levels of investment have led to unsatisfied consumers in a stagnant…

Scope of self-driven cars Imagine yourself getting into a car, using your voice to turn it on, and telling it the place you want to go, and as you kick back and relax, and surf the web, your car starts driving itself, navigating through the traffic as you surf the web and have talks with your family without any fear of accidents and within no time, you have reached your destination. This once seemed to be a thought of far future, a part of science fiction. But with advancements in technology,…
