An autonomous car (driverless car,self-driving car,robotic car) is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input.
Autonomous vehicles feel their surroundings with such techniques as radar, lidar, GPS, Odometry, and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage. By definition, autonomous vehicles are capable of updating their maps based on sensory input, allowing the vehicles to keep track of their position even when conditions change or when they enter uncharted environments. Autonomous cars have control systems that are capable of analyzing sensory data to distinguish between different cars on the road, which is very useful in planning a path to the desired destination.
Some demonstrative systems, precursory to autonomous cars, date back to the 1920s and 30s. The first self-sufficient (and therefore, truly autonomous) cars appeared in the 1980s, with Carnegie Mellon University's Navlab and ALV projects in 1984 and Mercedes-Benz and Bundeswehr University Munich's Eureka Prometheus Project in 1987. Since then, numerous major companies and research organizations have developed working prototype autonomous vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz (German pronunciation: [mɛɐ̯ˈtseːdəs ˈbɛnts]) is a German automobile manufacturer, a multinational division of the German manufacturer Daimler AG. The brand is known for luxury automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. The headquarters of Mercedes-Benz is in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The name first appeared in 1926 under Daimler-Benz, but traces its origins to Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft's 1901 Mercedes and to Karl Benz's 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen, which is widely regarded as the first gasoline powered automobile. Mercedes-Benz's slogan is "The Best or Nothing". Mercedes-Benz is one of the most recognized automotive brands worldwide.
The 2017 Mercedes Benz E300 4MATIC takes MotoMan for a ride. Literally. The first ever Mercedes Benz to feature Level 3 Autonomous Driving technology, makes its debut on the show. To celebrate, instead of just talking about tech, the Mercedes Benz graphically demonstrates it on road driving prowess to MotoMan by doing the driving. On the somewhat desolated 4 lane road of Pacific Coast Highway on the other side of Malibu from Los Angeles, MotoMan also demonstrates some others tricks as well as shortcomings of this latest Mercedes Benz Autonomous Driving system . . .

Tesla has released another Autopilot autonomous driving demonstration video, this time in a Model X. Compared to the original video, this one encompasses a wider range of challenges: - pedestrians - cyclists - fog - construction - curves - cars parked on shoulder - increased cross traffic This video has been slowed down, to better approximate real time speed. The original Tesla video (with sped up video) can be found: https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware-neighborhood-long Thinking of getting a Tesla?

First day of launch of Tesla OS 7 with limkted Autonomous driving capabilities in my Model S P85D. Test in traffic on CA hwy 84. The car has adaptive cruise, auto steer, and sensors all around. The front sensors include radar and a camera. The car can stay in a lane, execute a lane change when you use the signal, perform collision avoidance, and self parallel park.
Statistically, the least reliable part of the car is ... the driver. Chris Urmson heads up Google's driverless car program, one of several efforts to remove humans from the driver's seat. He talks about where his program is right now, and shares fascinating footage that shows how the car sees the road and makes autonomous decisions about what to do next.

Despite massive improvements in traffic safety, 1.2 million people are still killed in traffic every year. In 2007, this spurred Volvo Cars, as the only automotive manufacturer in the world, to launch a safety vision stating that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car by 2020. The company's vision is that cars should not crash. The first autonomous features will be introduced in the all-new Volvo XC90 by the end of 2014: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with steer assist automatically follows the vehicle ahead in queues. Other features include road edge and barrier detection with steer assist, which detects if the car is about to drive off the road and autonomously applies steering torque to bring the vehicle back on track. The next step is technology that follows t...
