Autonomous cars - Science Fiction?
Autonomous cars - Science Fact? Google are a new powerful player A mapping and data company with aspirations to develop their data footprint into mobility Announced manufacturing in May 2014
Integrated connectivity the next market change It will be essential for every carmaker to provide in-car connectivity but a viable business model is difficult to predict E&Y estimate that approximately 104 million new cars are expected to have some form of connectivity by 2025 US sales of 16 million new cars with embedded telematics by 2025 EU, Japan and BRIC nations regulating and developing propositions for connectivity Integrated telematics are being driven by smartphone use and safety regulations Hands-free capability and integrated sat-nav Comprehensive integrated connectivity The vehicle is an integrated web node part of the internet of things Now
Tesla: electrifying innovation right now Equipped with an embedded 3G HSPA+ cellular module: has more in common with a tablet or smart-phone than a conventional car. Virtual instrument cluster and the premium media control unit: The resolution of the display is 1,920 x 1,200, again exceeding the norm for cars, same supplier as Apple. NVIDIA Tegra 3, 1.4-gigahertz quad-core processor similar to smartphone and tablet designs. The main head unit has 5,000 discrete components 1,000 more than the highest-end infotainment unit previously analysed. The virtual instrument cluster and the premium media control unit are estimated to be twice the cost of the highest-end infotainment unit on other vehicles. Over-the-air software updates

Tesla: electrifying innovation now Tesla Model S Autopilot Autopilot combines a forward looking camera, radar, and 360 degree sonar sensors with real time traffic updates to automatically drive Model S on the open road and in dense stop and go traffic. Changing lanes becomes as simple as a tap of the turn signal. When you arrive at your destination, Model S will both detect a parking spot and automatically park itself. Standard equipment safety features are constantly monitoring stop signs, traffic signals and pedestrians, as well as for unintentional lane changes. Autopilot features are progressively enabled over time with software updates. The current software version is 6.1, adding traffic-aware cruise control, forward collision warning, and camera-enabled automatic high/low beam headlights Over-the-air software updates

Delta V = change of energy in a crash (not approach speed). Simple e.g. car travelling at 30km/h hits a stationary car; delta V is approx. 15km/h; complex calculation allows for many factors including vehicle stiffness, rebound etc.
