Cars Of The Future May Allow People To Travel In A Totally New Way

About two years ago, I wrote content articles on heaps of different new and growing technologies

, and maybe for this reason, or an over-active resourceful imagination, I almost immediately found myself thinking about the most preferred car-concept of the future. It was more a problem solving type of concept for the problems we face on today's roadways where a large number of accidents still occur on a daily, hourly and minute-by-minute basis.

As most car accidents manifest on account of driver error, why not create a system where driver error is removed from the equation? That seems the reasonable way to go. I was not alone in these ideas it seems, as someone by the name of Charles Rattray also seems to share this perspective.

Many people might look at this as a far-fetched dream, or possibly an impracticality, but considering all the tools we have at our disposal these days, it does not seem such a far-off notion after all.

We may perhaps be talking about twenty years into the future, but the technology required to apply this is already obtainable today. It is basically a case of harnessing and incorporating all these different kinds of technologies straight into vehicles of the future, so that the ending product is totally autonomous modes of transport.

Charles Rattray, a final year student has engineered a concept vehicle that makes heavy use of most of these current technologies to generate a system whereby these technologies work together and dovetail. His idea implements the principles of swarm robotics, in conjunction with information technologies, high-definition surveillance cameras, and sensors to supply a thoroughly autonomous vehicle proficient at travelling on it's own, or alternatively even inside a group.

When they travel in a group, the automobiles adopt the 'Platoon' mode, which significantly minimizes the energy usage of the vehicles by huddling tightly together with spaces of barely about 20 cm between the motor vehicles. Since every movement of the cars are handled by artificial intelligence, sensors and cameras, the probability for human error is essentially eliminated.

You would be forgiven for assuming this sounds too far-fetched, but then again, so did space exploration only 7 or so decades ago. I truly believe this is a foolproof choice when one considers the volume of lives that would be untainted with such a system.
