Self Driving Cars Future Technology

Almost 30% of Hungarians knew all about the benefits and impediments of electric vehicles in 2021. A further 22 percent of respondents expressed that they would be glad to involve a self-driving vehicle later on.

 

Seoul Robotics has been using lidar (which combines Lidar with radar) for the past two decades. In 2004, the company made its first successful programmable Lidar system on a car that enabled it to identify pedestrians, bicyclists, and other objects.

 

The Korea Automated Mobility Public Agency recently announced their plan to build an Autonomous Vehicle System by 2035. The agency’s CEO Park Byung-hye says that this goal will be realized through “a radical new approach to mobility. Based on the development of the next generation technology of laser scanners and cameras, we will provide high definition data to make autonomous driving possible. We will create a revolutionary ecosystem of the future from our experience in the development of lidar and sensor technologies.”

Now let’s take a look at why so many companies are focusing on self-driving cars right now. As part of my research, I came across a video from 2018 where one of the senior executives at Hyundai Motor Group said there’s no point in waiting for people to start thinking about owning a car in the near future.

 

Well, maybe not for everyone but he does make that line pretty clear, whether or not someone should own a car will become relevant. That, however, doesn’t mean there isn’t still room for improvement in how to produce a safe and affordable car while reducing the production costs.

 

Let’s think that you can have all these options like Amazon or Google for everything? So what would happen if anyone really wanted a Tesla Model 3 (https://www.tesla.com/model3) for daily use, but they can only afford to pay $60,000 or more? Well, then this becomes the question. Is it smart to spend your money on the latest thing that might or might not make you happy? After all, you want something that’s safe, and the chances of a crash are much higher when you drive something with lots of tech and sensors than anything but a human behind the wheel. But most importantly, you don’t want to miss out on anything amazing like being able to control all your favorite features like handsfree audio, wireless charging stations, etc.,

If such ideas are appealing to you, what are the advantages of having self-driving cars? First, it enables us to live without paying for a taxi. Second, it provides a new kind of lifestyle. Third, it gives us a great deal of freedom. Fourth, it also enhances the city life. Lastly, it improves urban space because of traffic. All these points above make self-driving cars a great value proposition for anyone buying into this concept of moving around without any worry. It is very exciting times ahead.

 

The biggest problem with self-driving cars right now is that the hardware isn’t ready yet. For example, in 2016, Uber had issues installing a passenger seat into the back of an electric SUV but was able to recover the situation by replacing a tiny little component on the front of the vehicle. This sort of ‘fixing’ should be enough. However, the solution that seems like it should be coming is driverless cars or an extremely large network. Either way, we are getting closer and closer to becoming mainstream. Even though we don’t know where or how far along we will move to the autonomous level, I hope that’ll never come.

 

A lot of things are going to change before any such changes. Some of them could affect even smaller players and startups. The ones that are already doing well will need to get involved in something new. They must introduce new things and improve upon current models. And more importantly, they must develop better solutions to old problems.

 

But, maybe a revolution is just around the corner for these incumbents? Or is it a matter of time before a major competitor breaks out to disrupt the competition?
