A robot car has artificial intelligence and can drive without human interaction, with lower crash potential than human drivers. It is connected to GPS and can be manually driven. It is still in testing, but experts predict lighter frames and less fuel use if released.
A robot car is a car with artificial intelligence and the ability to drive without human interaction. Advanced detection equipment and the use of lasers and cameras allow the robot car to have much lower crash potential than the average human driver. The car is directly connected to a global positioning system (GPS), so it can navigate to the driver’s destination. While this car is meant to be automatic and drive without human input, humans can interact with the car to drive manually, if they wish. Many people believe that a robot car’s safety rating may eventually result in lighter frames that save gas.
One of the biggest benefits of a robot car is a substantially lower crash potential compared to human drivers. This car cannot be distracted and senses all angles, making it much better able to prevent an accident, unlike human drivers who can be distracted and can only see several angles at a time. Another reason for this is that the car has detection equipment capable of detecting when objects are too close. The car’s artificial intelligence is based on human actions, and if an object gets too close, the car will have a human reaction to the object, such as swerve or move away.
Unlike humans, who can get lost while driving, a robot car is connected to a GPS. This allows such a car to navigate only after the driver enters the desired address. While it is possible that a robot car could lose its GPS signal, tests have shown this possibility to be negligible.
While a robot car is designed as an automated system that can drive without human interaction, the system is made to allow humans to take over whenever they want. Normally this is a preference-based decision, but the car can return control to the driver if a problem is detected. For example, if there is a problem with the cameras or the GPS system, the car will issue a message that there is a problem and the driver will have to take charge.
As of 2011, a robot car has not been officially released to the public and is still in the testing stages. If such a car goes public, many experts predict it will result in lighter frames due to the substantially decreased chance of crashing. This would cause the cars to use much less fuel, but the car would be more susceptible to damage if an accident were to occur.
