Automatic transmission to fully self driving in car: automation in progress

Self driving car technology looks to be a gradual growth of technology adoption rather then single time implementation of full-fledged self driving car. A fully capable safe driverless car is still a long way to go. It is difficult for driverless cars to drive in all types of conditions, some of the challenging conditions include driving during heavy rain and snow fall. However, there are technologies to relieve the driver from the stress of the driving and also enhance safe driving. The artificial intelligence from the electronic systems will assist driver on safety and driving. Some of the driver assistance technologies what we're seeing now includes, lane warning systems, cruise control, and pedestrian detection. Also features such as automatic emergency braking (AEB), electronic mirrors/camera monitor systems (CMS) and autonomous evasive steering is fast developed. What is really happening now is design of a robotic car. It's not a robot driving the car, but the car itself is a kind of robot. The two important technologies driving this trend includes visual analysis/image processing and natural language processing. Though both are becoming realistic but the 100% accuracy in analysis is still a long way. The accuracy come from the quality of image sensors, which captures the scene as good as eye or even better than that. There is significant improvement, there...
