Autonomous Vehicles

The document discusses autonomous vehicles and trains. It defines autonomous vehicles as vehicles that can operate without human intervention by sensing their surroundings. It outlines 5 levels of vehicle autonomy from no automation to full automation. Autonomous vehicles provide advantages like reducing human error and accidents but also pose disadvantages like security issues, job losses, and moral dilemmas. Autonomous trains similarly operate on automatic controls and signaling but also introduce data protection and high implementation costs. The document provides an overview of autonomous transportation technologies and some of their benefits and challenges.

What are
Autonomus
Vehicles?
• An autonomous vehicle, or a
driverless vehicle, is one that is able
to operate itself and perform
necessary functions without any
human intervention, through ability to
sense its surroundings.
• An autonomous vehicle utilises a fully
automated driving system in order to
allow the vehicle to respond to
external conditions that a human
driver would manage.
What are the 5 levels of
Autonomous Vehicles?
• Level 0 (No Driving Automation)
• Level 1 (Driver Assistance)
• Level 2 (Partial Driving
Automation)
• Level 3 (Conditional Driving
Automation)
• Level 4 (High Driving
Automation)
• Level 5 (Full Driving
Automation)
Advantages & Disadvantages of Autonomous
Vehicles:

Advantages Disadvantages
• Eradicating human error • Security issues. One of the potential cons
• More independence for the elderly and those about self-driving cars is the possibility of
with disabilities hacking. ... 
• Job losses. Those who depend on driving to
• Fewer accidents or deaths 
make a living may find their career obsolete
• Say goodbye to road rage  with the introduction of self-driving cars. ... 
• Opportunities for more efficient driving  • Initial costs. ... 
• Forgotten driving skills • Moral Machine dilemma. ... 
• The danger of hacking  • Machine error.

• Risk of accidents and death


Autonomous Trains
• An autonomous train, is a train on
which traction and braking are
performed by an autopilot,
respecting the signalling orders and
the timetable. Automatic driving can
be done in presence of a driver, or
unattended.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Autonomous
Trains

Advantages Disadvantages
• increased capacity. Automation expands • Data protection issues. The first problem
passenger capacity by increasing the that arises, is in that, being connected all
number of trains a line can handle. the time with the whole environment, it
• Greater flexibility can become a cyber problem of data
protection. ... 
• Lower costs.
• High cost of implementation. ... 
• Enhanced passenger experience
• High cost of vehicles.
• More sustainable.
