Autonomous cars have for long fascinated us, both the engineering fraternity as well as car enthusiasts worldwide. A ride in a driverless vehicle – capable of navigating the roads in a safe and efficient manner while communicating with its peers and making real-time intelligent decisions on the routing, speed, braking, and acceleration as the passengers enjoy a conversation or consume content – has been imagined and much awaited since early days of the automotive. That distant future, however, is not so remote today.
The present eBook dives deeper into these moving parts of the autonomous vehicle ecosystem and discusses short-and long-term solutions for accelerating autonomous vehicle production and adoption.
