2. What is a car ?
• A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for
transportation and a product of the automotive industry. Most
definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run
primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to
typically have four wheels with tyres, and to be, constructed
principally for the transport of people rather than goods.
• The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car. In that year, German
inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars did not
become widely available until the early 20th century. One of the first cars that was
accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by
the Ford Motor Company. Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of
America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much
longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world for the
transport of people rather than goods.
3. What to look in future ?
• In future we are going to experience a whole load of
new technological advancement is automobile world.
We are going to watch out for cars in different
categories such as :-
Electric cars
Hybrid cars
Flying cars
Autonomous cars
Hydrogen cars
Gasoline powered cars
4. ELECTRIC CARS
• An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by
one or more electric motors, using electrical energy
stored in rechargeable batteries or another energy
storage device. Electric motors give electric cars
instant torque, creating strong and smooth
acceleration. They are also around three times as
efficient as cars with an internal combustion engine.
The first practical electric cars were produced in the
1880s
5. Hybrid Cars
• Hybrid cars combine
two sources of power.
• They give off little
pollution.
• Can be powered by
many fuels.
• Can run off of
batteries of a liquid
fuel engine.

8. FLYING CARS
• A flying car is a type of personal air vehicle that
provides door to door by both air and road. The term
flying car is often used to include roadable aircrafts.
• Many prototypes have been built since the first years
of the twentieth century, but no flying car has yet
reached production status.
9. Flying cars
• The picture is of the Moller M400 flying car.
It is a car of the future
• It can reach up to 400mph and it can fly up
to 900 miles.
10. Hydrogen Cars
• Hydrogen cars are the
cars of the future.
• Some hydrogen car
makers are BMW, GM,
Toyota, and Honda.
• All of these cars are
run by liquid hydrogen
instead of gas.
11. Gasoline Powered Cars
• Gas cars are much more
powerful than the other
forms of cars
• They can reach speeds of
300+ MPH
• They give off lots of
carbon monoxide and
dioxide
• They are the most
common type of cars.
12. Solar Powered Cars
• Solar powered cars
use solar energy to
power an electric
motor directly or
charge batteries.
• They use an array of
solar photovoltaic
cells that convert
sunlight to electricity.
13. Autonomous vehicles
• An autonomous car (driverless car] self-driving car, robotic car) is a
vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without
human input.
• Autonomous cars can detect surroundings using a variety of techniques
such as radar, lidar, GPS, odometry, and computer vision. Advanced
control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate
navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage . Autonomous
cars have control systems that are capable of analyzing sensory data to
distinguish between different cars on the road, which is very useful in
planning a path to the desired destination.
14. Autonomous Vehicles Defined
• Vehicle that get from
one point to another
point without human
interaction.
• Implement a number of
well placed sensors that
detect different things
such as other vehicles,
people, traffic lights, and
movement of other
vehicles
15. The Technology of the Car
• Anti-Lock Brakes
• Electronic Stability control
• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane-departure warning
system
• Self parking
• Automated guided vehicle
systems
• Lidar-Systems(with google
cars) or Cruise Automated
Systems(Audi)
• Infrared cameras.
16. The Lidar System
Features:
• Vertical and horizontal setup of the system
possible
• Image acquisition with fully integrated NIKON
DSLR camera.
• 3D mode of the VZ scanner with continuous
rotation of the scanning head for highly
efficient mobile data acquisition.
• 360 degree static scanning.
• Mainly used by Google Inc. for detecting the
surroundings of the vehicle
17. Cruise Systems
Features:
Cameras and Radars to map out
surroundings(including other
vehicles)
Used mainly for highway scenarios.
Steering wheel motor mounted to
steering column.
Adaptive speed control.
Collision avoidance
RP-1 sensors
Will be made in future for other
vehicles.
18. Types of Algorithms
The combination of:
• 3-D imaging with
multiple 1064 nm
lasers.
• Edge-Detection
Algorithm
• Motion-Detection
algorithm
• Tracking algorithm
19. Components
• Lane departure warning
– Lazy or inattentive drivers can automatically be
moved
• Blind spot monitoring
– Warn if cars are in blind spots
• Pedestrian detection
– Automatic brake or warning
• Adaptive cruise control + forward collision warning
– Car stays a safe distance behind cars ahead of it
– Warns or takes action in case of danger
20. Current Adoption of the Technology
• Cruise Automation
• Tesla Model D announced in 2014
– Car will be able to autonomously pick owners up (on
private property)
• Cadillac Super Cruise announced in 2014 for 2017
models
– Hands-free driving in certain conditions
– Vehicle to vehicle communication
• Ford Traffic Jam Assist announced in 2012 gives
similar features
21. Active health monitory
There is a complete lieu of car
manufacturers that is working over this
technology. But like always, Ford seems to
be leading the race with the S-Max
concept. The concept floored last year and
got installed in several new cars. The
system mainly works by becoming a part of
car seats in form of ECG monitors.It keeps a
track of passenger’s heart rate and can
instantly raise alarm if occupant’s
heartbeat goes haywire. It also carries an
ability to monitor passenger’s blood
glucose and sugar levels, though for this
purpose it has to rely over information
from some external devices.
22. GOOGLE SELF-DRIVING CAR
• Google self-driving cars - all of which have test drivers at the wheel
- are any in a range of autonomous cars, developed by Google X as
part of its project to develop technology for mainly electric cars.
Lettering on the side of each car identifies it as a "self-driving car".
The project was formerly led by Sebastian Thrun , former director
of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of
Google Street View. Thrun's team at Stanford created the robotic
vehicle Stanley which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and its
US$2 million prize from the United States Department of Defense.
In May 2014, Google announced plans to
created driverless car that had neither a
steering wheel nor pedals, and unveiled a
fully functioning prototype in December of
that year that they planned to test on San
Francisco Bay Area roads beginning in
2015. Google plans to make these cars
available to the public in 2020
23. • Google's robotic cars have about $150,000 in equipment
including a $70,000 LIDAR system. The range finder mounted
on the top is a Velodyne 64-beam laser. This laser allows the
vehicle to generate a detailed 3D map of its environment. The
car then takes these generated maps and combines them with
high-resolution maps of the world, producing different types
of data models that allow it to drive itself
24. TRENDING…
• BMW VISION NEXT 100 YEARS
• The BMW brand epitomises Sheer Driving Pleasure – past, present and into the next
100 years. BMW aims to make this fascinating driving experience even more intense in
the future. The driver is in constant communication with the vehicle in an intuitive and
natural way. At the same time, the vehicle expands the driver’s range of perception and
transforms him or her into the “Ultimate Driver” – the best driver they can possibly be.
The Companion responds to the driver’s personal needs in order to create emotionally-
intense experiences.
In Boost Mode, the driver becomes one with
the vehicle and will be able to experience even
more intense driving pleasure in the future. In
fully-automated Ease Mode, on the other
hand, the Companion takes over all driving
tasks and the interior is transformed into an
individual comfort zone
