For a number of years, companies have invested heavily in operating systems capable of creating autonomous vehicles, or vehicles capable of driving themselves entirely. By companies, I don’t mean the typical car companies, such as BMW and ford alone, because this is also an interest for some of the tech companies of the world, they will probably be responsible for the successes in this venture. Anyway, a recent accomplishment from the industry is an automatic braking system. This braking system works through a number of sensors, which are able to sense when there is an obstacle in front of the car, and automatically brake. Whether the obstacle is a child foolishly running in front of the car, or another car unexpectedly braking themselves, the automatic braking system should engage and prevent an accident. All of the news coming out of the companies engaged in this goal seems to suggest that a truly autonomous vehicle may be closer to becoming a reality than we would expect, perhaps even within a decade, and this new bit of technology would seem to support this.
