What is an Autonomous Car?
New Yorker, July 8&15, 2013, pg. 67
• The exact definition of autonomous will vary greatly with each specific new car design. • Generally meaning: a car capable of providing significant independent driving assistance - advanced roadway imaging systems for detecting other vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians - wireless vehicle communications to the cloud - networks of powerful intelligent computers - new visual, speech, and tactile electromechanical human interfaces
New Connected Automation Technology Impact: New Freedom in Driving • • • • •
Cooperative Driving Will be Achieved With The Cooperative Sharing of The Driving Burden Vehicle Recommendations and Controls Will Improve Driver Performance Driver Group Synchronization Will Enable New Efficiencies, and Reduce Pollution Transportation Infrastructure Coordination Will Maximize Flow and Reduce Traffic & Waste Driver Monitoring Enhanced Response Will Improve Vehicle Performance and Experiences

The Research Challenges are Daunting and Some Will Require Time To Resolve More Joy
Greater Passenger and Pedestrian Safety
Latency
Frequency Bands Differential GPS Roadway Occlusions GPS Accuracy Wireless
V2V technology
Bandwidth
Future Autonomous Connected Vehicle
LIDAR uncertainty during foul weather conditions
Driver Cognitive State
New Roadway Markers Algorithms
Reduced Stress
Internet Communication Protocol & Modulation Methods
Fiducial Reference Position Wireless Roadway Markers
Less Fuel and Pollution
Blindness and Uncertainty is Common in The Establishing The Significance of Emerging Intermediate Research Data
Uncertain Legal Work Liability During Commute Smoother Traffic Flow More Free Time
Proper Driving Speed
The Future Autonomous Car Will Need to Ultimately Support And Enhance All Kinds of Future Driving Experiences In All Kinds of Weather
Cloud Rural Dirt
Downtown Urban On Board Vehicle Wireless Big Data
Rural Paved Urban Arterial Suburban
Rural Highway
Fully Autonomous Vehicles Without Human Drivers May Need New Kinds of Technologies Such As Wireless Aware Roadway Markers and New Types of Differential GPS For Precise Roadway Navigation
Driver’s Perceptions and Trust of Autonomous Assisted Driving Benefits Will Be Key To Perceived Value, Acceptance, and Adoption
Great Early Benefits In Safety May Occur For The Elderly and Impaired
Level 2 “Hands & Brain” on the wheel
Level 3 “Hands & Brain” briefly off the wheel
Level 4 Totally Driverless (Farthest in the Future)
Ease of Driving
Data Searching, Texting, Map Checking
Improved Safety & Lower insurance, cost
Improved Safety
Checking Email
No need for driving skills to use
Improved Traffic Flow
Texting
Work in car
Faster Journeys & Faster Driving
Facebook Page
Fewer Traffic Accidents
Compensation for Driver Aging Limitations
Internet Shopping
Automated taxicabs and delivery vehicles
Greater Joy of Driving
