1PRODUCT INNOVATION AND MANAGEMENT
Trends in technology influencing Autonomous design
Autonomous technology has taken over the market in the recent and most of the
multination companies are spending large amount of capital on development of level five
autonomous vehicles. nuTonomy is the first company in the world who were successful in
testing autonomous vehicles in the streets of Singapore. The company has increased the
number of car in the roads of Singapore and have started conducting tests in the streets of
other cities (Mullins, Stankiewicz and Gupta 2017). The car developed by nuTonomy has
given a far superior model than the tradition designs where the vehicle has a formal logic,
which is based on the Asimov’s laws of robotics. The vehicle developed by the company will
reduce the amount of human error and thus reduce the number of accidents all over the world.
However, there is still lot of improvement that could be made and there are few upcoming
trends, which could revolutionaries the autonomous vehicle industry. The first trend is the use
of the superhero performance, which will prevent any sort of accident. The superhero hero
performance will be able to identify potential threat of accident and will be able to avoid
them (Ackerman 2017). This technology is beyond the expectation of the people as it
specially designed to eliminate human error. The next trend is the use of the automatic
processing of data that will improve the navigation system of the autonomous vehicles. The
company is successful in delivering level four autonomous vehicles; the new technology
developed has helped the organization to make a path-breaking break through and has moved
way beyond the semi autonomous technology. The next goal of the company is create a
vehicle on demand level five autonomous vehicles that can replace the services like Uber.
nuTonomy has formed a partnership with Peugeot and they are testing self-driven cars in
Singapore and other cities. The use of artificial intelligence and advanced sensors to avoid
any form of causality will the technology of the future (Fleetwood 2017). The company has

considered all future cars to be level five autonomous vehicles that will not require human
assistance and the new model tested by the organization is the initial model for this concept.
