Deakin University SIT740: Research and Development in CAV Report

This report focuses on research and development in the field of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), specifically examining the work of Renault, Nissan, and Mercedes-Benz. It delves into the autonomous vehicle models produced by these companies, such as the RENAULT EZ-ULTIMO, 2018 Nissan LEAF, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 500 INTELLIGENT DRIVE, highlighting their features, capabilities, and technological underpinnings, including the use of artificial intelligence. The report explores the advantages of CAVs, such as enhanced safety, traffic management, and cost savings, while also acknowledging limitations like high costs, potential pollution, and privacy concerns. The report concludes with a bibliography of relevant research papers.

1RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Discussions
The companies of Connected Autonomous Vehicles are Renault, Nissan and
Mercedes. These companies deal with the Autonomous vehicles and the technologies that are
connected to the autonomous vehicles. The car model of Renault, which is an autonomous
vehicle, is RENAULT EZ-ULTIMO. This model focuses on autonomous, connected, electric
and shared services of urban mobility. The autonomous model of Nissan is 2018 Nissan
LEAF. It will have the functionality of autonomous drive for a highway of single-lane. LEAF
is the World’s best-selling EV. There are prototypes of Mercedes Benz that are the
autonomous cars. The model of Mercedes Benz is Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 500
INTELLIGENT DRIVE. Artificial intelligence is deployed in this prototype and it is fully an
autonomous vehicle.
These companies are considered Connected Autonomous Vehicle Company because
these companies work with the autonomous vehicles and the connected technologies. The
autonomous vehicles are the vehicles that can guide itself without the conduction of vehicles.
These cars are driverless cars and computers drive them.
These companies sell and develop various types of products that are very useful for
the humankind and these products are related to the autonomous vehicles and the connected
technologies. The products that are sold or developed by these companies include the
autonomous vehicles and the different components of vehicles those are autonomous. The
different components of the autonomous vehicles include the human machine interface, in-
vehicle computing and the data centers that are very important for the autonomous vehicles.
There are various problems when it comes to the cars that are driven by man. These
companies manufacture these automated cars in order to solve the problems of safety, traffic,
costs and the parking. The autonomous cars provides saving opportunities that are long term.

2RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The cars that are self-driving can alleviate the spaces that are issued by having lesser cars
collectively.
The limitations of the autonomous vehicles are that these cars very expensive but in
future these cars will be less expensive. These cars has the potential for grater pollution and
privacy can be lost in these autonomous vehicles.
