Introduction
The term driverless cars refer to the automatic care which is a type of vehicle
that has the ability to sense its environment and moving with less human input. In this
advanced generation, the use of information technology is increasing quickly and the
driverless car is a new technology which is now used in the many transportation
industries (Narla, 2013). A driverless car does not require any driver for moving from
one location to another because it can be controlled from any location and users may
track the activities of cars. The key goal of this research is to describe the concept of the
driverless car and identify their importance in the business industries. Most the
transportation companies are developing self-driving cars where they use artificial
intelligence technologies for controlling and managing the cars without any driver.
There are various sections will be included in this report, for example, working of the
driverless car, their importance, strengths and weaknesses and use in businesses and
ethical issues.
Description of the driverless cars
1. How does it work?
Driverless cars are the best examples of the automation which are based on artificial
intelligence technology. In the self-driving cars, human drivers are never needed to take
control to safely operate the vehicle. There working principle of the driverless cars are
based on the computer networks and sensors and also uses numbers of information
technologies. However, developers and engineers combine sensors and software while
developing the self-driving cars in order to control, navigate and drive cars without any
human (Abueh, & Liu, 2016).
There are numbers of business industries developed and implement such kinds of
technologies, for example, Google, Tesla, Uber and so on. Mainly, they use around 64
laser beams along with the numerous kinds of sensors in order to develop the internal
map and they also use artificial intelligence in order to control the functions of cars
from any location. After that software process inputs and transfer data from the
operators to the car system. Moreover, the developers use a high level of algorithms in
order to perform activities and monitoring the traffic rules and navigate obstacles.
