Driverless Cars: A Peek into the Future

Introduction:

There is no doubt that technology has transformed the world. Technology has not only Paved the path for a modern era but has also made the life of people so easier. From wireless technology to connectivity we are surrounded by technological advancements from all sides. One such technology is the Driverless Cars. Driverless Cars will change the course of the automobile industry in the future, there is no doubt about that. A number of factors will play a key role in determining the future trends of driverless cars. These factors will include technology level, mobility, semiconductor tools and technology, government restrictions and market patterns. In this article we will discuss about how driverless cars can change the future.



Ways in which Driverless Cars can change the future:

The recent leaps and bounds in the self driving industry has made it crystal clear that self driving cars are the future of the automobile industry. Cars and automobiles, in general, are a huge part of our daily lives and society in general. Surprisingly, as humans we are prone to getting angry as soon as we are behind the wheel. But driverless cars will be operated by the computers and AI, and machines don’t get angry or frustrated. Following are some of the ways in which Driverless Cars can change the course of future:

1.   Reduced Number of Deaths related to Road Accidents:

According to a study the number of deaths caused by road accidents will decrease drastically because of self driving cars. As driverless cars are equipped with smart gadgets and navigation systems it can easily avoid such situations. The deaths related to road accidents will reduce as much as 70% because of driverless cars.

2.   Driverless Cars will be Eco-Friendly:

Driverless cars will be beneficial to the environment. Most of the self driving cars are equipped with an electric power mechanism system which enables it to run for several kilometres after getting charged once. Many technological leaps are made in this field as most of the companies are fighting on this particular aspect only to attract the consumers. Experts believe that semiconductor tools will play a key role in increasing the efficiency of electric batteries used in driverless cars.

3.   Reduction in travelling time:

Driverless cars will reduce the commutation time as it will choose those paths only which have lesser traffic. Self driving cars can optimise time efficiently and thus reducing the overall travelling time.

Summary:

In some countries, driverless cars have already made their debut on testing and limited trial basis. Experts believe that in the upcoming 5-10 years, the driverless cars industry will be one of the fastest emerging industries in the world. This will also boost the growth of other industries dependent on self-driving industries, such as the semiconductor industry, electronic industry and tech industry.
