Preface

Why did I write this book?

The story of writing this book started on 1989, when I was a student in the Secondary School of Advanced Students.

It is remarkably like the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Schools, which are now available in many advanced countries.

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. This term is typically used to address an education policy or a curriculum choice in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.

There was a weekly class in the library, where each student is free to choose any book and read for 1 hour. The objective of the class is to encourage the students to read subjects other than the educational curriculum.

In the library, while I was looking at the books on the shelves, I noticed huge books, total of 5,000 pages in 5 parts. The books name is The Encyclopedia of Technology, which describes everything around us, from absolute zero to semiconductors, almost every technology, at that time, was explained with colorful illustrations and simple words. I started to read the encyclopedia, and of course, I was not able to finish it in the 1-hour weekly class.

So, I convinced my father to buy the encyclopedia. My father bought all the technology tools for me in the beginning of my life, the first computer and the first technology encyclopedia, and both have a great impact on myself and my career.

I have finished the entire encyclopedia in the same summer vacation of this year, and then I started to see how the universe works and to how to apply that knowledge to everyday problems.

My passion to the technology started mor than 30 years ago and still the journey goes on.

This book is part of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies which is my attempt to give the readers the same amazing experience I had when I was in high school, but instead of 20th century technologies, I am more interested in the 21st century emerging technologies, applications, and industry solutions.

The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies will consist of 365 books, each book will be focused on one single emerging technology. You can read the list of emerging technologies and their categorization by industry in the part of Coming Soon, at the end of the book.

365 books to give the readers the chance to increase their knowledge on one single emerging technology every day within the course of one year period.

Introduction

How did I write this book?

In every book of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies, I am trying to get instant, raw search insights, direct from the minds of the people, trying to answer their questions about the emerging technology.

There are 3 billion Google searches every day, and 20% of those have never been seen before. They are like a direct line to the people thoughts.

Sometimes that’s ‘How do I remove paper jam’. Other times, it is the wrenching fears and secret hankerings they would only ever dare share with Google.

In my pursuit to discover an untapped goldmine of content ideas about Self Driving Car, I use many tools to listen into autocomplete data from search engines like Google, then quickly cranks out every useful phrase and question, the people are asking around the keyword Self Driving Car.

It is a goldmine of people insight, I can use to create fresh, ultra-useful content, products, and services. The kind people, like you, really want.

People searches are the most important dataset ever collected on the human psyche. Therefore, this book is a live product, and constantly updated by more and more answers for new questions about Self Driving Car, asked by people, just like you and me, wondering about this new emerging technology and would like to know more about it.

The approach for writing this book is to get a deeper level of understanding of how people search around Self Driving Car, revealing questions and queries which I would not necessarily think off the top of my head, and answering these questions in super easy and digestible words, and to navigate the book around in a straightforward way.

So, when it comes to writing this book, I have ensured that it is as optimized and targeted as possible. This book purpose is helping the people to further understand and grow their knowledge about Self Driving Car. I am trying to answer people’s questions as closely as possible and showing a lot more.

It is a fantastic, and beautiful way to explore questions and problems that the people have and answer them directly, and add insight, validation, and creativity to the content of the book – even pitches and proposals. The book uncovers rich, less crowded, and sometimes surprising areas of research demand I would not otherwise reach. There is no doubt that, it is expected to increase the knowledge of the potential readers’ minds, after reading the book using this approach.

I have applied a unique approach to make the content of this book always fresh. This approach depends on listening to the people minds, by using the search listening tools. This approach helped me to:

Meet the readers exactly where they are, so I can create relevant content that strikes a chord and drives more understanding to the topic.

Keep my finger firmly on the pulse, so I can get updates when people talk about this emerging technology in new ways, and monitor trends over time.

Uncover hidden treasures of questions need answers about the emerging technology to discover unexpected insights and hidden niches that boost the relevancy of the content and give it a winning edge.

The building block for writing this book include the following:

(1) I have stopped wasting the time on gutfeel and guesswork about the content wanted by the readers, filled the book content with what the people need and said goodbye to the endless content ideas based on speculations.

(2) I have made solid decisions, and taken fewer risks, to get front row seats to what people want to read and want to know — in real time — and use search data to make bold decisions, about which topics to include and which topics to exclude.

(3) I have streamlined my content production to identify content ideas without manually having to sift through individual opinions to save days and even weeks of time.

It is wonderful to help the people to increase their knowledge in a straightforward way by just answering their questions.

I think the approach of writing of this book is unique as it collates, and tracks the important questions being asked by the readers on search engines.

Acknowledgments

Writing a book is harder than I thought and more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. None of this would have been possible without the work completed by prestigious researchers, and I would like to acknowledge their efforts to increase the knowledge of the public about this emerging technology.

Dedication

To the enlightened, the ones who see things differently, and want the world to be better -- they are not fond of the status quo or the existing state. You can disagree with them too much, and you can argue with them even more, but you cannot ignore them, and you cannot underestimate them, because they always change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones or amateur, others see genius and innovators, because the ones who are enlightened enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do, and lead the people to the enlightenment.

Chapter 1: Self-driving car

A self-driving car, also known as a driverless car, a robotic car, or an autonomous vehicle (AV), is a vehicle that drives itself without a human operator (robo-car), Autonomous vehicles use a wide range of sensors to gather information about their environment. These sensors may include thermographic cameras, radar, lidar, sonar, GPS, odometers, and inertial measurement units. The SAE levels may be broadly broken down as follows: Level 0 denotes a lack of automation; Level 1 denotes hands-on or shared control; Level 2 denotes hands-off; Level 3 denotes eyes-off; Level 4 denotes mind-off; and Level 5 denotes an optional steering wheel.

As of March 2022, cars that operate at Level 3 and higher continue to constitute a very insignificant percentage of the market. Waymo made history in Phoenix, Arizona, by becoming the first company to provide rides in driverless taxis to the general public in December of 2020. The service was provided by Waymo. In March of 2021, Honda was the first manufacturer to provide a legally approved Level 3 car. In December of 2021, Mercedes-Benz became the second manufacturer to receive legal approval for a Level 3 car that complied with legal requirements and became the second manufacturer to provide a legally approved Level 3 car. In February 2022, Cruise became the second company in the world to provide driverless taxi trips to the general public. This event took place in San Francisco, California, in the United States.

Automated driving systems (ADS) have been the subject of research and development efforts at least as far back as the 1920s; A chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board in the year 2020 declared that there will not be any self-driving vehicles (SAE level 3+) available for purchase by customers in the United States in the year 2020:

Consumers in the United States presently do not have access to any vehicles that are capable of driving themselves.

Period.

Every car that is offered for sale to customers in the United States still needs the driver to be vigilantly involved in the process of driving, despite the fact that modern driver assistance technologies are being used.

If you are in the business of selling automobiles, and one of them has an advanced driver aid system,, you’re not selling a self-driving car.

If you are behind the wheel of a vehicle that is equipped with an advanced driver aid system, you don’t own a self-driving car.

On March 5, 2021, Honda began leasing in Japan a limited edition of one hundred Legend Hybrid EX sedans equipped with the newly approved Level 3 automated driving equipment. This equipment had been granted the safety certification by the Japanese government to Honda's autonomous Traffic Jam Pilot driving technology, and it legally allows drivers to take their eyes off the road. The certification was issued on March 5, 2021.

There is a certain amount of incoherence in the language that is employed in the field of self-driving cars. Several groups have put forward proposals to develop a language that is both accurate and uniform.

This confusion was documented in 2014 in SAE J3016, which states that some vernacular usages associate autonomous specifically with full driving automation (Level 5), while other usages apply it to all levels of driving automation, and some state legislation has defined it to correspond approximately to any ADS [automated driving system] at or above Level 3 (or to any vehicle equipped with such an ADS). This document states that "some vernacular usages associate autonomous specifically with full driving automation (Level 5), while other usage

The majority of today's automobiles come standard with safety features like cruise control, lane departure warning systems, and emergency brakes. These characteristics on their own are only regarded to be driver assistance technologies since they still need to be controlled by a human driver, while fully automated cars drive themselves without any input from the driver.

According to Fortune, the names of certain technologies found in more recent vehicles, such as AutonoDrive, PilotAssist, Full-Self Driving, or DrivePilot, have the potential to confuse the driver, leading them to believe that they are not required to provide any input when, in reality, they must continue to be involved in the task of driving.

For this reason, some organizations such as the AAA try to provide standardized naming conventions for features such as ALKS, which aim to have the capacity
