Introduction
Driverless car can be considered as one of greatest innovation in 21st century. Having a
revolutionary transport sector will ultimately help in breakthrough, which will impact the life of
large number of individuals. Development of technology will help in triggering a series of in-
depth changes in various transport sector (Richtel and Dougherty, 2015). The changes can be
encountered from a series of passenger services ranging from operation to maintenance. This has
ultimately provided a list of changes in various automobile and transport sectors. Mobile tools
and application claims to provide various kinds of strategies which are known to be existing
model. Apart from new kind of technologies which have great impact on technology it set focus
to take technology to new level. Now a day’s vehicles are becoming autonomous in nature and
are connected wirelessly to each other (Claudel and Ratti, 2015). Daniel corporation should take
initiatives to implement driverless car technology in their organization as it can bring a lot
benefits to their organization. Some of the example of organization manufacturing driverless car
technology are Google and Tesla.
In the coming pages of the report an idea has been provided regarding google driverless
car. Google driverless can be considered as a best example for understanding the need of
driverless car in Daniel corporation. The constitutes of the car that is hardware sensor, Lidar,
video camera, position estimation, computers have been discussed in the report. After that
artificial intelligence and need of driverless car in future has been discussed in details.

Discussion
Google Driverless Car
A driverless car is designed in robotic vehicle which is designed in such a way that it can
easily fulfil the capabilities of transportation without the need of any human operator (Mitchell
and van der Lee, 2017). Various kinds of technologies which are used in driverless car are anti-
lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), self-parking and automated guided vehicle
system. In the near future it is expected that driverless car will change whole model of
transportation. Google driverless car is designed in such a way it can easily control steering
during looking for large number of obstacles (Cui, 2016). Correction regarding speed limit can
be done can be easily done by car itself. On any kind of traffic condition, it can go or stop itself.
Constituents of Driverless Car
Three are mainly three part of driverless car technology that is Google map, sensors and
lastly artificial intelligence (Levy, 2015). A driverless car is computerized car which has been
designed by Google. It does not have any kind of wheel for steering, accelerator it just comes up
with start stop, pullover and computer screen by which route can be easily tracked. Google map
and Google GPS are mainly used for navigation. Google map provides the car with the
information of road. It generally interacts with GPS and acts in similar way like database.
Hardware sensor
Real time and dynamic kind of environment are generally attained by this particular car.
For attaining sensors are needed for creation of environment which is fully observed (Broggi et
al. 2015). Different kind of hardware sensor like Lidar, position estimator, distance sensor and
aerial computers has been discussed below.
