Self-Driving Cars – are they dangerous? (Image Courtesy: Popular Mechanics) The concept of self-driving car has been under exploration, development, tweaking, and redevelopment now for more than a decade. The moot question asked both by the automobile engineers & designers and the technology researchers & inventors. Is that “whether self-driving cars are still a thing of the future or they are a usable technology of today?” What are Self driving cars? A car that drives by itself with little or no human intervention is a self-driven car, in simplest of the words. A self-driving or an autonomous as it is sometimes called is a combination of moving mechanical parts, environment & surrounding sensing sensors, control systems, on-board …show more content…

The operation of self-driving car is designed to imitate the process the way humans go through their driving routine. First the sensor, No you need to start it first. The sensors deployed gather the information about the surrounding and environment. This information gets mapped onto the GIS grid through the on-board GPS. This information gets fed to the control system. Which with the assistance of the on board electronics and software, drives the car. The Self driving cars – Is it too much of a leap into the future Every development, whether technological or otherwise goes through a cycle of conceiving, designing, testing, production, on-field trials, certification and acceptance. The cycle is in line with the mantra given by Darwin “Survival of the fittest”. And bypassing any of these steps certainly proves to have disastrous after effects. Arguments in favor of self-driving cars Most of the accidents happen because of the mistakes committed by the drivers. The argument in favor of the self-driving car lies in the fact that it is a robotic way of travelling. Therefore, would not be subject to fatigue, attention span etc. Thereby, shall drastically reduce the accidents on the
