Babies born after 2017 may never need to take a driving lesson because
of the development of self driving cars. Some scientists say that self driving
or driverless cars(无人驾驶汽车)may hit the roads within 15 years, and it is possible that driving
may become unnecessary, or more relaxing and enjoyable.
Companies like Google, Baidu, Apple and Alibaba are working on
driverless cars. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self driving
cars could be put into use very soon. This kind of cars may change the way we
live in the future. All you have to do is to type in the address!
According to Baidu, driverless technology has the following four advantages.
Firstly, driverless cars are actually safer. With driverless cars, the number
of deaths caused by accidents will decrease. Secondly, driverless cars
are more efficient(效率高的) than manned cars. Thirdly, driverless cars follow the traffic
rules. Therefore traffic control will be easier to achieve. At last, the cost
of transportation will be reduced as the labor cost becomes less.
There are many different technologies needed to make a successful self driving
car. The most difficult technologies of all are environmental perception(感知), behavior
prediction, planning control, HD mapping, and exact GPS.
