Synopsis: Transport & travel: Ground travel: Driver:

he is ferried around town by a car and driver; the snowy Swiss hamlet, which is too small and awkward for limos,

In October 2011, Ford demonstrated three SYNC apps offering in-car health monitoring for drivers to track chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma and hay fever.

One driver gets too close to another and has to brake, as does the driver behind,

as does the driver behind him#pretty soon, the first driver has sent a stop -and-go shock wave down the highway.

One driving-simulator study found that nearly half the time one vehicle passed another, the lead vehicle had a faster average speed.

All this leads to highway turbulence, which is why many traffic modelers see adaptive cruise control (A c. C.)#which automatically maintains a set distance behind a car and the vehicle in front of it#as the key to congestion relief.

and smoothing driver reactions. One study shows that even a highway that is running at peak capacity has only 4. 5 percent of its surface area occupied.

Human beings make terrible drivers. They talk on the phone and run red lights, signal to the left and turn to the right.

The driver in the lane to my right. He s twisted halfway around in his seat,

While other drivers are gawking at him he is observing them: recording their maneuvers in his car s sensor logs,

Smart cars were just clever enough to get drivers into trouble. The highways and test tracks they navigated were controlled strictly environments.

At about 8am every morning, Anthony Levandowski gets into the driver s seat of his white Lexus for his daily commute to work.

travel 36,000 miles before making a mistake severe enough to require driver intervention. A mistake doesn t mean a crash#t just means that Chauffeur misinterprets what it sees.

In those days, many of the world s drivers still had reins and a whip instead of a wheel and pedals.

And under the Geneva convention, a basic legal requirement for drivers#hether of animals or of cars#s the same.

The driver must have control. Who has control of a driverless car? For the autonomous vehicle that now drives Levandowski to work, the answer (according to Smith) is logical:

not perfect not crash-proof but safer than a competent human driver. We have a saying here at Google says Levandowski.

Currently the data reveal that so-called release versions of Chauffeur will on average travel 36000 miles before making a mistake severe enough to require driver intervention.

In Smith's analysis the legal concept of driver goes back to an international agreement called the Geneva convention on Road Traffic ratified by Congress in 1950.

In those days many of the world's drivers still had reins and a whip instead of a wheel and pedals.

And under the Geneva convention a basic legal requirement for drivers whether of animals or of cars is the same.

The driver must have control. Who has control of a driverless car? For the autonomous vehicle that now drives Levandowski to work the answer (according to Smith) is logical:

the person in the driver's seat. The Google car doesn't work without one as Chauffeur needs to be able to hand back the reins with 10 20 or maybe even 30 seconds'notice.

And even if self-driving cars do not violate an international treaty myriad state laws imply that the driver must be human.

The doctrine assigns driver-hood to the person either in the driver's seat or the one who activates the self-driving function.

Nevada was the first to adapt the principle into state law: Its DMV even designed special license plates for the vehicles (they have an infinity sign.

Technology he says should prevent oblivious drivers from causing harm. Self-driving-car boosters talk about a virtuous circle that starts

which its cars autonomously follow a professional driver. It uses technology that's already built into every high-end Volvo sold today plus a communications system.

And lidar could eliminate even the need for a lead driver. In our self-driving future not only would traffic jams become a thing of the past every stoplight would also be green.

But the real engineering challenge is making sure the driver stays alert. All kinds of problems crop up in real-world testing says auto-drive consultant Brad Templeton who worked with Google on its self-driving-car project for two years.

But the temptation for drivers is to simply zone out. So engineers have begun to design countermeasures.

Everyone's looking for ways to keep the driver engaged says Dan Flores a spokesman for GM.

As the car gets more and more capable we want the driver to maintain driving expertise. Advocates like to say that there is no technical reason the new Mercedes needs hands on the wheel to steer through a turn.

I'm not sure it will be that much fun to drive behind a self-driving car that just dropped off the human driver

and with a legally blind driver as the article at the link explains cheers.>>we need 99.99999

Shipping containers can be transported from one terminal to another automatically without a tractor or driver.

so that the driver can take over you say? HA! Not gonna happen because in order for the driver to assess the situation

and gain control of the vehicle he/she would have been having to pay attention to/what the car is doing at all times/(like you do

In this talk we discuss the drivers affecting water sustainability and potential solutions including: adapting to a changing water world direct and indirect potable water reuse resilient water infrastructure and more holistic management of the water cycle.

Apps, like the parking app Streetline that helps drivers find available parking spots, use this sensor technology too.

Drivers: energy security, rural community growth, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, food constraints, green jobs. Binetti outlined the advantages of cellulosic ethanol:

when relying on Apple's disappointing mapping system--especially as the number of drivers ending up in peculiar locations is on the rise.

The same drone technology that the U s. military is using in Afghanistan could be put to use in the United states to transport goods between locations safer and faster than human drivers.

This could potentially free up roadways for humans as robot drivers could take a different route,

Perhaps the biggest driver for change is personal technology, which has untethered workers from their office,

because entrepreneurs and small organizations i e. oegarages have been critical drivers of diverse technological innovation in the U s. for several centuries,

(and corresponding consumption) are key macro-scale drivers of biodiversity loss. It is unclear what role synthetic biology and its products will play in these relationships.

I might argue that a bigger driver is the opportunity to profit from using land for production purposes.
