Safety technologies in cars are highly advanced in the western economies. So much so that they are now ready to introduce talking cars! Yes it is true that talking cars are coming in future. These cars are programmed using mathematical equations.
The cars would be fitted with robots which would be programmed to sense whether a lane change has been carried out safely or not. The programme instructs the robotic cars on when to change lanes or merge lanes.
For this, each car will have to be fitted with robots. Then each car will be governed by a centralised brain guided by a series of algorithms. The robots’ using their programmed chip transmits to each other and instruct the cars on how to merge lanes. This will help create a formation where no car collides with another due to mis- judgement.
During this formation, the robots will asses the targets in the direction they are moving. When more than one car is merging lanes, one of them is given a leadership position and the rest will adjust accordingly. This will help avoid collision altogether. This will help ease traffic congestion and avoid accidents.
In fact, the talking cars were created by a team led by Indian scientists. A team of scientists was led by Dr Bhibhya Sharma and Dr Utesh Chand of University of South Pacific in United States. The team already demonstrated the new technology using computer simulation. However, the technology is yet to test on how to automatically plan to avoid crashing into the side of the road and cars travelling close by.
The scientists have presented their findings to the 1st RIM mathematical association (PRIMA) conference in Sydney, Australia. If talking cars become a reality, all that the drivers will be required to do is hold the steering wheel and leave the rest to the robots in the car. But it is debatable if the technology is useful in the Indian chaotic traffic.
