Robot Car on specific routes.

JAPANESE ROBOT MAKERS CAN DESIGN THIS CAR with robot drive and sensor unit. Robot car which can sense the traffic and adjust the car driving automatically <without a driver> . This Robot car can be able to adjust the speed, negotiate the turnings, ups and downs, move forward, backward and stop. This car after thorough checking its for working conditions on various robot tests, can be programmed in its operating system computer, the specific route < say from Home to School and vice-versa >. Therefore the robot car will be having the driving box unit instead of human.. Otherwise it shall be defined as unmanned car. This car should be user friendly, should be capable of operating by manual as well as automated by the robot drive unit. This car can be given a specific color paint overall, so that these cars can be identified on the road while traffic. The robot in the car has to sense the following 1. driving of the car with her pinhole cameras all over her body fixed at front, back, sides, bottom and top to cover all sides views so that the driving unit is to judge properly like a human driver.2. checking the fuel in the car through her automated system 3. so also to sense and give an alarm oil level, and breakish nature as to when the next fulling up of oil would be required4. the programming should contain the road rules to be observed by the driving system unit.5. the robot car should stop and stationery in case of any external force act upon the car, instantaneously.6. the car robot unit should be made with very high precision with sophistication to operate the car smoothly .7. the concept car can be used for school children on specific route only to go and come back home 8. so also once successful the car can be programmed for several routes also and can be set with numbers against the route required by the owner of the car. 9. this should be reliable, sturdy, unreachable for operation by children which can be sealed and operative only by the owner of the vehicle by showing his thumb impression on its sensor system or by a lock and key. 10. this should pass the traffic police restrictions, must convince them that the vehicle is capable of running on the route unmanned for the purpose.11. suitable license can be obtained by the vehicle owner from the government by duly satisfying the country’s rule and regulations by satisfying the vehicle is unmanned, road worthy and competent to run with her sensors always on and very sensitive and not foul around. 12. in case of the sensor rest, it should be only at the garage of the owner and not anywhere while it should have to be programmed accordingly only.

Not only is the idea of robot cars not new, the concept has already undergone considerable research and development. The biggest challenge is the safety issue. In particular, the need for the robocar to avoid hitting pedestrians, or anything else for that matter. The problem isn't so much the sensors, but how to enable the robot's computer brain to judge what is or isn't a hazard.

Hi, Sir, Otherwise we can call it point to point robot car - apparently shall be designed by robot makers like they make nowadays to do operations even at hospitals as per latest inventions. The sensor observing, signaling to the computer brain is important as our friend says, which should function like the "stimulus-response" mechanism turns to be human being, who will do same action on controlling the driving. The machine, the robot shall do precisely the same thing whilst the question of pedestrian hit /uncontrolled drive shall not be there; of course it is a serious thing; but again this can be overcome if good R&D applied on this concept, Sir, Thanks and Best Regards Dr V Kumar

PBS did a Nova show about 'the Great Robot Race' where universities and companies designed automated cars to cross a remote section of desert. The routes were literally mapped out to the foot by programmers and the cars were outfitted with laser scanners and cameras and all sorts of things. Still the average speed was very low and many competitors didn't finish. And the technology cost a million dollars per car.

The show convinced me that the technology just wasn't 'here' yet.

And I don't know why you'd say "Japanese."--they're not farther on this than the US or even the Germans. Actually, I think the US is the leader on this today.
