SELF DRIVING CARS FOR A BETTER WORLD

According with World Health Organization nearly 1, 35 million people die on road crashes every year, an average 3,287 deaths per day.  Should this statistics make us to worry?   The answer is Yes, the truth is that you are not safe when you drive a car or when you are in a car.

To reduce road accidents governments and non governments institutions have took some actions to try to prevent road crashes. In the following moment I will present some measures taken by governments in hooping to reduce car accidents:

• reducing speed limit
• reducing alcohol level and in some cases prohibiting alcohol
• raising awareness of legislation and increasing of fees
• making vehicles more protective for occupants

Unfortunately this measures wont work. Maybe I'm to critique and don't have enough conviction , it's very hard to educate people in general. In my view one of the best solution to solve this problem are self driving cars.

WHAT ARE SELF DRIVING CARS?

Also known as autonomous vehicle is a vehicle that is capable to move safely with no human input. That means that those cars have incorporated Artificial Intelligence based systems. We can enumerated here some companies which are developing self driving cars like: Tesla , Uber and so on.
A research made by IHS Markit predicted that installation rate of AI based systems for cars will increase with by 109% by 2025.


ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SELF DRIVING CARS

To create a AI based for a car we need to implement some techniques like: deep learning, machine learning , algorithms like: linear algebra, probabilities, programming languages like Python. The process of creating a self drive cars can be split in three main stages:

Stage 1   Data Collecting  Input ( supercomputer, electronically radars, comunication systems, traffic light cameras, trifocal camera, Gps,

Stage 2  We train data set

Stage 3  We have the output which include :( object detection, voice recognition, speech recognition, Eye tracking, maping system, driver monitoring and so on)

In the end I would like to emphasize that even this cutting edge creations failed few times. Here I would like to mention that a women was killed by a self driving car tested by Uber and two Tesla pilots have died .  Despite of this isolated failures I still firmly believe that self driving cars are the best solution for decrease road accidents and to become a better world.
