Autonomous Driving. History Vehicles, Technical Specifications/Classifications and the Trolley Effect

Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: The whole world is constantly evolving. Before the 17th century, mechanics and electricity were not invented for mankind. Many discoveries and inventions have been an enrichment for the human life in the last 300 years, but also many are gratuitous or even endangered. New technologies are not only available to assist people's activities or to produce commodities, but they are and will be of much more value in the future. For the first ten years of the 21st century, the masses had been guaranteed unimaginable technical advances and the continuing possibilities of self thinking processes in metal. It is named Artificial Intelligence, in short AI. But this engineering marvel is not yet fully functional. The machine cannot think on its own so an ethnic decision comes from the developer. However "Artificial Intelligence is the key for autonomous driving" and revolutionized the transport sector in all aspects. This journey to a complete automated infrastructure, whose development is beyond all questions, will affect our lives. An enormous number of experts will be required for the designing and upkeeping of the new cars.
